Ironic by Alanis Morisette
Capo -- 4th fret
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
Its a black fly in your Chardonnay
D G D Em
Its a death row pardon two minutes too late
D G D Em
Isnt it ironic ... dont you think
Chorus:
D G D Em
Its like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em
Its a free ride when youve already paid
D G D Em
Its the good advice that you just didnt take
F C D
Who wouldve thought ... it figures
D G D Em
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
D G D Em
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
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 isnt this nice ... "
D G D Em
And isnt it ironic ... dont you think
Chorus:
D G D Em
Its like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em
Its a free ride when youve already paid
D G D Em
Its the good advice that you just didnt take
F C D
Who wouldve thought ... it figures
Cmaj7 D
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7 D
When you think everythings okay and everythings going right
Cmaj7 D
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
Cmaj7
You think everythings gone wrong and everything blows up
D
In your face
D G D Em
A traffic jam when youre already late
D G D Em
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
D G D Em
Its like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
D G
Its meeting the man of my dreams
D Em
And then meeting his beautiful wife
D G D Em
And isnt it ironic ... dont you think
D G D Em
A little too ironic ... and yeah I really do think ...
Chorus:
D G D Em
Its like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em
Its a free ride when youve already paid
D G D Em
Its the good advice that you just didnt take
F C D
Who wouldve thought ... it figures
Cmaj7 D
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7
Life has a funny, funny way --- of helping you out
Helping you out
