{c:capo: 4}

{c:verse 1}
An [D]old [G]man  [D]turned ninety-[Em]eight   
He won the [D]lotter-[G]y and [D]died the next [Em]day
It´s a [D]black [G]fly in your [D]Chardon-[Em]nay
It´s a [D]death row [G]pardon two [D]minutes too [Em]late
Isn´t it i-[D]ronic[G] ... don´t you [D]think  [Em]  

{soc}
It´s like rai-ee-[D]ain [G]  on your [D]wedding [Em]day
It´s a free [D]ri-[G]ide when you´ve [D]already [Em]paid
It´s the good ad-[D]vi-[G]ice that you [D]just didn´t [Em]take
[F]Who would´ve [C]thought ... it [D]figures 
{eoc}

{c:verse 2}
Mr. [D]Play It [G]Safe was a-[D]fraid to [Em]fly
He packed his [D]suit-[G]case and kissed his [D]kids good-[Em]bye
He waited his [D]whole damn [G]life to [D]take that [Em]flight
And as the [D]plane crashed [G]down, he thought      
"Well [D]isn´t this [Em]nice ... "
Isn´t it i-[D]ronic[G] ... don´t you [D]think  [Em]  

{soc}
It´s like rai-ee-[D]ain [G]  on your [D]wedding [Em]day
It´s a free [D]ri-[G]ide when you´ve [D]already [Em]paid
It´s the good ad-[D]vi-[G]ice that you [D]just didn´t [Em]take
[F]Who would´ve [C]thought ... it [D]figures 
{eoc}

{c:bridge}
Well [Cmaj7]life has a funny way of sneaking up 
[D]on you when you think everything´s OK and 
[Cmaj7]Everything´s going ri-[D]ight 
And [Cmaj7]life has a funny way of helping you 
[D]Out when you think everything´s gone wrong and 
[Cmaj7]Everything blows up in your fa-[D]ace

{c:verse 3}
A [D]traffic [G]jam when you´re [D]already [Em]late
A no-[D]smoking [G]sign on your [D]cigarette [Em]break
It´s like [D]ten thousand [G]spoons when all you [D]need is a [Em]knife
It´s meeting the [D]man of my [G]dreams  
And then meeting his [D]beautiful [Em]wife
And isn´t it i-[D]ronic[G] ... don´t you [D]think  [Em]  
A little [D]too i-[G]ronic ... and yeah I [D]really do [Em]think ...

{soc}
It´s like rai-ee-[D]ain [G]  on your [D]wedding [Em]day

[Cmaj7]Life has a funny way, of sneaking up on [D]you
[Cmaj7]Life has a funny, funny way [D]
Of helping you [Cmaj7]out
Helping you [D]↓out
