  An D/F# old G man D/F# turned ninety- E- 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
  And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

  It's like rai-e- D ain G - on your D wedding E- day
  It's a free ride when you've already paid
  It's the good advice that you just didn't take
  And F who would've C thought? It D figures

  Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
  He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

  And as the plane crashed down, he thought
  "Well, isn't this nice"
  And 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

-- Verse

  A traffic jam when you're already late
  A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
  It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

  And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
  A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

  Of sneaking up on you
  And life has a funny, funny way
  Of helping you out
