Ironic (Acoustic)

     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 to late
           D     G           D     Em
isn't it ironic... don't you think

            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 have thought... it figures

     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 just to take that flight
           D              G              D               Em
and as the plane crashed down he thouht "well isn't this nice..."
               D    G            D    Em
and isn't it ironic... don't you think?

            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

     C9                                D     G
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
     C9                               D      G
when you think everything is okay and everything's going right
     C9                               D      G
and life has a funny way of helping you out when
     C9                               D            G
you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

   D      G            D             Em
A traffic jam when you are 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               D               Em
it's like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
              D   G              D     Em
and isn't it ironic... don't you think?
         D   G                     D           Em
