no capo -- album version
intro
picked version of the verses
F# B F# G#m
an old man turned ninety-eight
F# B F# G#m
he won the lottery and died the next day
F# B F# G#m
it's a black fly in your chardonnay
F# B F# G#m
it's a death row pardon two minutes to late
F# B F# G#m
isn't it ironic... don't you think
F# B F# G#m
<> it's like rain on your wedding day
F# B F# G#m
it's a free ride when you've already paid
F# B F# G#m
it's the good advice that you just didn't take
A G#m F#
who would have thought... it figures
mr. play-it-safe was afraid to fly
he packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
he waited his whole damn life just to take that flight
and as the plane crashed down he thouht "well isn't this nice..."
F# B F# G#m
and isn't it ironic... don't you think?
<>
B F#
well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
G#m
when you think everything is okay and everything's going right
B F#
and life has a funny way of helping you out when
G#m
you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
a traffic jam when you are already late
a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
it's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
it's like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
F# B F# G#m
and isn't it ironic... don't you think?
F# B F# G#m
a little too ironic... and yeah i really do think...
<>
B F#
life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
B F# B
life has a funny, funny way of helping you out -- helping you out
