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
