\beginverse
An \[E]old \[A]man \[E]turned ninety-\[F#m]eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
\endverse
\beginchorus
It's like rain\[E A] on your \[E]wedding \[F#m]day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And \[G]who would've \[F#m]thought it fi\[E]gures
\endchorus
\beginverse
Mr. Play-it-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought, ``Well isn't this nice''
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
\endverse

\beginverse
Well \[D]life has a funny \[E]way
Of sneaking up on you when you think everything's \[D]okay
And everything's going \[E]right
\endverse
\beginverse*
And \[D]life has a funny \[E]way
Of helping you out when you think everything's gone \[D]wrong
And everything blows up in your \[A]face
\endverse
\beginverse
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
A little too ironic and yeah, I really do think
\endverse

\beginverse
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
