Verse 1  
 D/f# Gsus2 D/f#          Em7
An old man turned ninety eight
 D/f#           Gsus2 D/f#              Em7
He won the lottery and died the next day.
    D/f#   Gsus2         D/f#     Em7    
It's a black fly in your chardonnay,
    D/f#        Gsus2    D/f#         Em7
It' a death row pardon 2 minutes too late!
          D/f#    Gsus2     D/f#  Em7
Isn't it Ironic?  Don't you think?

Chorus
             D  G         D       Em
It's like rain___ on your wedding day,
            D    G              D       Em
It's a free ride___ when you've already paid,
                D    G           D           Em
It's the good advice___ that you just didn't take,
    F              C                 D
and who would of thought, it figures?

Verse 2
(same chords as the first)
Mister play-it-safe was afraid to fly,
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good__bye,
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight,
And as the plane crashed down he thought, 'well isn't this nice?',
Isn't it Ironic?  don't you think?

Chorus

Bridge:

Well life has a funny way of sneakin' up
On you when you think everything's okay and
everything's going ri__ght,
and yeah well, life has funny way of helping you out
when everyhthing blows up in your fa__ce,

Verse 3
(same chords as as the first, just a couple more bars)

Outro:

        And you know well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you,
Life has a funny way-funny way, of helping you out, 
helping you o__ut
