Verse 1
An old man turned ninety eight
He won the lottery and died the next day.
It's a black fly in your chardonnay,
It' a death row pardon 2 minutes too late!
Isn't it Ironic? Don't you think?

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 of thought, it figures?
Verse 2
(same chords as the first)
Mister 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?',
Isn't it Ironic? don't you think?
Chorus
Bridge:
Well life has a funny way of sneakin' up
On you when you think everything's okay and
