   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 too late
          F#    B  F#               G#m
Isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think
Chorus:
         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          E                  F#
Who would´ve thought ... it figures
   F#        B       F#         G#m
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
   F#          B            F#              G#m
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
              F#          B       F#         G#m
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
           F#             B
And as the plane crashed down he thought
F#                  G#m
" Well isn´t this nice ... "
              F#    B  F#               G#m
And 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

              F#  B            F#           G#m
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
                            Emaj7                       F#
When you think everything´s okay and everything´s going right
     Emaj7                  F#
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
                                       Emaj7
You think everything´s gone wrong and everything blows up
         F#
In your face
  F#       B              F#         G#m
A traffic jam when you´re  already late
     F#       B            F#        G#m
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
          F#            B                  F#         G#m
It´s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
                  F#        B
It´s meeting the man of my dreams
                     F#         G#m
And 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 ...
Chorus:
         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

    A          E                  F#
Who would´ve thought ... it figures
Emaj7                   F#
