   D    G    D            Em 
An old man  turned ninety-eight  
            D    G      D             Em 
He won the lottery and died the next day 
         D     G         D        Em 
It´s a black fly in your  Chardonnay
        D         G          D           Em 
It´s a death row pardon two minutes too late
           D    G  D               Em 
Isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think 
[Ritornello]
            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 
Who would´ve thought ... it figures
[Versetto]
      D          G        D        Em 
Mr. Play It Safe   was afraid to fly
               D    G                  D          Em 
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
                D         G       D          Em 
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
             D            G 
And as the plane crashed down he thought
      D            Em 
"Well isn´t this nice ..."
               D    G               D   Em 
And isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think 
[Ritornello]
            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 
Who would´ve thought ... it figures

      Cmaj7                              D  
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
                              Cmaj7                      D 
When you think everything´s okay and everything´s going right 
     Cmaj7                              D 
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
                              Cmaj7 
You think everything´s gone wrong and everything blows up
         D 
In your face
[Versetto]
    D      G          D                 Em 
A traffic jam when you´re  already late
   D          G            D          Em 
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
           D             G                  D              Em 
It´s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
      D                      G 
It´s meeting the man of my dreams
          D                     Em 
And then meeting his beautiful wife
               D     G              D     Em 
And isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think
          D    G                    D         Em 
A little too ironic ... and yeah I really do think ...
[Ritornello]
            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 
Who would´ve thought ... it figures
