[C]Hey, I, I[D]

[C]

[Verse 1]
An [D]old [G]man [D]turned ninety-[Em]eight
He [D]won the lotter[G]y
and [D]died the next [Em]day
It's [D]a black f[G]ly in y[D]our Chardonn[Em]ay
It's a [D]death row [G]pardon
two [D]minutes too [Em]late
And isn't it [D]iron[G]ic
don't you [D]think?[Em]

[Chorus 1]
It's like [D]rain [G]on your wed[D]ding day[Em]
It's a free [D]ride [G]when you've alr[D]eady pai[Em]d
It's the good [D]advice[G]
that you [D]just didn't [Em]take
And [F]who would've [C]thought? It [D]figures

[Verse 2]
Mr. [D]Play It [G]Safe was [D]afraid to [Em]fly
He packed his [D]suit[G]case and kissed his
[D]kids [Em]goodbye
He waited his [D]whole damn [G]life
to [D]take that [Em]flight
And as the [D]plane crashed [G]down,
he thought "Well, [D]isn't this [Em]nice"
And isn't it [D]ironic,[G]
don't you [D]think?[Em]

[Chorus 2]

It's a free [D]ride [G]when you've alr[D]eady pai[Em]d
It's the good [D]advice[G]
that you [D]just didn't [Em]take
And [F]who would've [C]thought? It [D]figures

[Bridge 1]
Well, [C]life has a funny way
Of sneaking up [D]on you
When you think everything's okay
And [C]everything's going [D]right
And [C]life has a funny way
Of helping you out
[D]When you think everything's gone wrong
And [C]everything blows up in your face

[Verse 3]
A [D]traffic [G]jam when you're [D]already late
[Em]A "no smok[D]ing"[G] sign
on your [D]cigarette [Em]break
It's like [D]ten thousand [G]spoons when all
you [D]need is a [Em]knife
It's [D]meeting the man of my [G]dreams
And then meeting [D]his beautiful [Em]wife
And isn't it [D]ironic,
[G]don't you thi[D]nk?[Em]
A little too [D]ironic,[G]
and yeah I [D]really do [Em]think

[Chorus 3]
It's like [D]rain [G]on your wed[D]ding day[Em]
It's a free [D]ride [G]when you've alr[D]eady pai[Em]d
It's the good [D]advice[G]
that you [D]just didn't [Em]take
And [F]who would've [C]thought? It [D]figures

[Outro 1]

well, [C]life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on [D]you
And [C]life has a funny, funny way
[D]Of helping you out[C]
[D]Helping you out[C]
