electric parts. (Ignore my crappy chord names, i dont know what a couple of them are

[verse1] 
          
An old man turned ninety-eight
                        
He won the lottery and died the next day
                   
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
                           
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
                           
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

[chorus]
                      
It's like rain on your wedding day
                            
It's a free ride when you've already paid
                                 
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
                          
And who would've thought... it figures

[verse2]
                   
Mr. 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
                                 
And Isn't this ironic ... don't you think?

[chorus]
                      
It's like rain on your wedding day
                            
It's a free ride when you've already paid
                                 
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
                          
And who would've thought... it figures

[bridge]
                                      
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
                       *                
When you think everything's ok and everythings going right
*                                    
And yeah well life has a funny way of helping you out when
                        *    
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everthing blows up in your face

[verse3]
                      
A traffic jam when you're already late
                       
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
                                  
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
                                               
It's meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
                             
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
                              
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

[chorus]
                      
It's like rain on your wedding day
                            
It's a free ride when you've already paid
                                 
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
                          
And who would've thought... it figures
