Ironic

Intro: (F7+  C  F7+)

G/B    C    G/B          Am
An old man turned ninety-eight
G/B        C           G/B           Am
He won the lottery and died the next day
        G/B C     G/B         Am
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
        G/B      C          G/B         Am
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late
           G/B   C             G/B  Am
Isn’t it ironic    don’t you think?

(Chorus)
        G  C          G       Am
It’s like rain on your wedding day
          G  C             G       Am
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
            G   C           G          Am
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Bb             F           G
Who would’ve thought it figures
G/B   C              G/B       Am
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
              G/B  C                G/B        Am
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
            G/B        C       G/B      Am
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

         G/B           C
And as the plane crashed down he thought
        G/B       Am
“Well isn’t this nice"
                  G/B  C             G/B Am
“ Well isn’t it ironic" don’t you think?

(Chorus)
        G  C          G      Am
It’s like rain on your wedding day
          G   C            G       Am
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
            G   C           G          Am
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Bb            F          G
Who would’ve thought it figures
F7+                                          C7+
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
                                      F7+                    C7+
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
          F7+                        C7+
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
                            F7+
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

G/B        C                G/B     Am
A traffic jam when you’re already late
      G/B      C            G/B      Am
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
       G/B          C                   G/B     Am
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
G/B                         C
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
                   G/B       Am
And then meeting his beautiful wife
           G/B   C          G/B   Am
And isn’t ironic don’t you think?
        G/B  C             G/B          Am
A little too ironic and yeah I really do think

(Chorus)
        G  C           G      Am
It’s like rain on your wedding day
              G C               G      Am
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
            G   C           G          Am
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
Bb            F           G
Who would’ve thought it figures
F7+                                    C7+
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
        F7+                  C7+
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
