-3 7 6 -5 -5 5 6
An old man turned nine-ty-eight
3 3 3 -7 7 7 -5 -5 -3 5 5
He won the lot-ter-y and died the next day
5 -3 7 6 6 -5 -5 5 6
It’s a black fly in your Char-don-nay
6 5 -7 7-7 6 -55 6 -5 5 5 5
It’s a death row par-don two min-utes too late
6 6 -5 5 -5 5 6 5 5
Is-n’t it i-ron-ic, don’t you think
CHORUS
7 7 8-87 7 6 7 7 -7
It’s like rain on your wed-ding day
7 7 8 -8 -77 7 6 7 7 -7 6
It’s a free ride when you’re al-read-y paid
7 7 8 -8 7
It’s the good ad-vice
7 6 7 7 6 -7
that you just did-n’t take
-7* -7 7 -7 -6 -7 7
Who would-‘ve thought, it fig-ures
VERSE 2
Mister 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…”
Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
6 6 6 6 -7 6 7
Well life has a fun-ny way
5 5 5 5 -4 -4
of sneak-ing up on you
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 6 5
When you think ev-ry-thing’s o-kay
5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 3
and ev-ry-thing’s go-ing right
5 5 -5 6 -7 6 7
And life has a fun-ny way
5 5 5 5 -4 -4
of help-ing you out when
-4 -4 -5 -5 -5 6 5
You think ev-ry-thing’s gone wrong
5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
and ev-ry-thing blows up
-4 4 -3
In your face
VERSE 3
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
5 6 6 -5 5 -5 5 5 5 5
And is-n’t it i-ron-ic, don’t you think
7 7 7 8 -8 8 7
A lit-tle too i-ron-ic
5 5 5 6 5 5 5
And yeah, I real-ly do think
7 7 8-87 7 6 7 7 -7
It’s like rain on your wed-ding day
7 7 8 -8 -77 7 6 7 7 -7 6
It’s a free ride when you’re al-read-y paid
7 7 8 -8 7
It’s the good ad-vice
7 6 7 7 6 -7
that you just did-n’t take
-7* -7 7 -7 -6 -7 7
Who would-‘ve thought, it fig-ures
6 6 6 6 6 6 -7 6 7
And you know life has a fun-ny way
5 5 5 -5 6 -565
of sneak-ing up on you
6 6 6 -7 6 -7 6 7
Life has a fun-ny, fun-ny way
5 5 5 -5 5 -4 5 -5 -3
of help-ing you out help-ing you out
