[Verse]
D G D Em
An old man turned ninety-eight
D G D Em
He won the lottery and died the next day
D G D Em
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
D G D Em
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late
D G D
Isn’t it ironic
Em
don’t you think
[Chorus]
D G D Em
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
Who would’ve thought
D
it figures
[Verse]
D G D Em
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
D G D Em
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
D G D Em
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
D G
And as the plane crashed down he thought
D Em
"Well isn’t this nice"
D G D
And isn’t it ironic
Em
don’t you think
[Chorus]
D G D Em
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
Who would’ve thought
D
it figures
[Bridge]
C D
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
C D
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
C D
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
C
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
D
In your face
[Verse]
D G D Em
A traffic jam when you’re already late
D G D Em
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
D G D Em
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
D G
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
D Em
And then meeting his beautiful wife
D G D
And isn’t it ironic
Em
don’t you think
D G
A little too ironic
D Em
and yeah I really do think
[Chorus]
D G D Em
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
Who would’ve thought

[Outro]
C D
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way
