IRONIC

               E  A   E            F#m

Verse 1:    An old man turned ninety-eight

                       E   A      E            F#m

            He won the lottery and died the next day

                   E    A      E          F#m

            It's a black fly in your chardonnay

                   E        A          E         F#m

            It's a death row pardon two minutes to late

                         E       A           E     F#m

            And isn't it ironic...  Don't you think?

                      E A         E      F#m

Chorus:   It's like rain   on your wedding day

                       E A             E      F#m

           It's a free ride when you've already paid

                         E A            E          F#m

           It's the good advice that you just didn't take

               D              F#m               E

           And who would have thought...  It figures

              E      A         E       F#m

Verse 2:  Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly

                        E  A                   E       F#m

                        E        A            E        F#m                                                                                                                                                He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight

                     E    A                              E         F#m

          And as the plane crashed down he thought, "well isn't this nice?"

                       E    A            E     F#m                                              

          And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?

E    A     E

Bridge:  Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

                       F#m E      F#m   E

         When you think everything is okay and everything's going right

E    A     E

         And life has a funny way of helping you out when you think

                   F#m E      F#m                                              

         Everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

        

            E      A                E      F#m

Verse 3   A traffic jam when you are already late

               E        A            E        F#m

          A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

                    E           A                   E        F#m

          It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

E    A

          It's like meeting the man of my dreams

     E    F#m

          And then meeting his beautiful wife
