           An old  man   turned ninetyeight
   DF#           Gsus2    DF#             Em7
He won the lottery     and died the next day
      DF#      Gsus2       DF#          Em7
It's a    black fly  in your    Chardonnay
       DF#      Gsus2      DF#        Em7
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
              DF# Gsus2          DF# Em7
And isn't it ironic     don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
                D G            D       Em
It's a free ride   when you've already paid
                    D G         D           Em
It's the good advice   that you just didn't take
    F            C                  D Dsus4
and Who would've thought, it figures

Mr. Play It Safe     was afraid to fly
              DF# Gsus2              DF#        Em7
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
              DF#       Gsus2   DF#      Em7
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
           DF#          Gsus2
And as the plane crashed down he thought
       DF#            Em7
Well, isn't this nice.
              DF#  Gsus2          DF# Em7
And isn't it ironic,     don't you think

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on       you
                                     Cmaj7                   Cadd9

            Cadd9
In your face
 
 
  DF#    Gsus2            DF#        Em7
A traffic jam  when you're already late
    DF#   Gsus2             DF#      Em7
A nosmoking     sign on your cigarette break
          DF#         Gsus2               DF#      Em7
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
     DF#                  Gsus2
It's meeting the man of my dreams
           DF#                Em7
And then meeting his beautiful wife
              DF#  Gsus2          DF# Em7
And isn't it ironic,     don't you think
            DF#       Gsus2           DF#           Em7
A little too    ironic,     and yeah I really do think
