Ironic[C] - Alanis Morrisette
[Intro]
C G C
Hey yay yay, yah ha ha, ay yeah, hi
[Verse 1]
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 too late
D G D Em
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
[Chorus]
D G D Em
It's like ra-aaiin 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
And who would've thought ... it figures
[Verse 2]
D G D Em
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
D G D Em
He packed his suit-case and kissed his kids goodbye
D G D Em
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
D G
And as the plane crashed down he thought
D Em
"Well, isn't this nice ..."
D G D Em
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
[Chorus]
D G D Em
It's like ra-aaiin 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
And who would've thought ... it figures
[Bridge]
C G
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you think everything's okay
C G
And everything's going right
C G
And life has a funny way of helping you out when you think everything's gone wrong
C *
And everything blows up in your face
[Verse 3]
D G D Em
A traffic jam when you're 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
It's meeting the man of my dreams
D Em
And then meeting his beautiful wife ... hmm
D G D Em
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
D G D Em
A little too ironic ... and yeah, I really do think ...
[Chorus]
D G D Em
It's like ra-aiin 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
And who would've thought ... it figures
[Outro]
C G
C G
And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
C G
And life has a funny, funny way
C
Of helping you out, helping you out
