Verse 1:    An old man turned ninety-eight
                       F#   B      F#            G#m
            He won the lottery and died the next day
                   F#    B      F#          G#m
            It's a black fly in your chardonnay
                   F#        B          F#         G#m
            It's a death row pardon two minutes to late

                         F#       B           F#     G#m
            And isn't it ironic...  Don't you think?

                       F# B         F#      G#m
Chorus:    It's like rain   on your wedding day
                       F# B             F#      G#m
           It's a free ride when you've already paid
                         F# B            F#          G#m
           It's the good advice that you just didn't take
               A              G#m               F#
           And who would have thought...  It figures?

              F#      B         F#       G#m  
Verse 2:  Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
                        F#  B                   F#       G#m
          He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
                        F#         B            F#        G#m
          He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight
                     F#     B                              F#        G#m
          And as the plane crashed down he thought, "well isn't this nice?"

                        F#    B            F#     G#m                              
          And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?

Chorus:  (Repeat chorus as before)


Bridge: (Play the intro 1 rhythm throughout this part) BRIDGE (clean)

     Emaj7
Well life has a funny way
               F#6add4                       F#@  F#6add4
of sneaking up on you when you think everything is okay and
Emaj7                     F#6add4       F#@  F#6add4
everything is going right
    Emaj7
And life has a funny way
               F#6add4                  F#@  F#6add4
of helping you out when you think everything's gone wrong and
Emaj7        				(intro end)
everything blows up in your face 

Verse 3:
            F#      B                F#      G#m
          A traffic jam when you are already late
               F#      B            F#        G#m
          A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
                    F#           B                   F#        G#m
          It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

          (No instruments on these last two lines)         
	  It's like meeting the man of my dreams
          And then meeting his beautiful wife

          (Bongo drums Fill-in)
                        F#    B             F#     G#m
          And isn't it ironic...  Don't you think?
                    F#    B                  F#        G#m
           A little too ironic...  And yeah I really do think...

Chorus:  (Repeat chorus as before)
