[Verse 1]
 
   D/F# G6  D/F#          Em7
An old  man turned ninety-eight
   D/F#         G6     D/F#          Em7
He won the lottery and died the next day
       D/F#  G6          D/F#   Em7
It´s a black fly in your Chardonnay
       D/F#      G6         D/F#        Em7
It´s a death row pardon two minutes too late
          D/F# G6          D/F#  Em7
Isn´t it ironic, don´t you think
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          D/F# G          D/F#    Em
It´s like rain... on your wedding day
            D/F# G              D/F#    Em
It´s a free ride... when you´ve already paid
                D/F# G           D/F#        Em
It´s the good advice... that you just didn´t take
    Fmaj7    C               Dadd11
Who would´ve thought... it figures
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     D/F#        G6     D/F#        Em7
Mr. 'Play It Safe' was afraid to fly
              D/F# G6                  D/F#        Em7
He packed his suit-case and kissed his kids goodbye
              D/F#       G6      D/F#      Em7
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
           D/F#          G6                     D/F#       Em7
And as the plane crashed down he thought; "Well isn´t this nice"
              D/F# G6          D/F#  Em7
And isn´t it ironic, don´t you think
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          D/F# G          D/F#    Em
It´s like rain... on your wedding day
            D/F# G              D/F#    Em
It´s a free ride... when you´ve already paid
                D/F# G           D/F#        Em
It´s the good advice... that you just didn´t take
    Fmaj7        C               Dadd11
and who would´ve thought... it figures
 
 
[Bridge]
 
     Cmaj7                            D6add11
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
                                     Cmaj7                   D6add11
When you think everything´s okay and everything´s going right
    Cmaj7                               D6add11
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
                                      Cmaj7
You think everything´s gone wrong and everything blows up
            D6add11*
In your face
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
  D/F#    G6              D/F#        Em7
A traffic jam when you´re already late
     D/F#    G6           D/F#      Em7
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
          D/F#         G6                  D/F#      Em7
It´s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
                 D/F#      G6                          D/F#      Em7
It´s meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife
 
              D/F# G6            D/F#  Em7
And isn´t it ironic... don´t you think
               D/F#  G6              D/F#      Em7
A little too... ironic... and yeah I really do think
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          D/F# G          D/F#    Em
It´s like rain... on your wedding day
            D/F# G              D/F#    Em
It´s a free ride... when you´ve already paid
                D/F# G           D/F#        Em
It´s the good advice... that you just didn´t take
    Fmaj7    C                Dadd11
Who would´ve thought ... it figures

Cmaj7                                  D6add11
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7                        D6add11          Cmaj7
Life has a funny, funny way... of helping you out
            D6add11*
Helping you out
