[Verse]
B E B C#m
An old man turned ninety-eight
B E B C#m
He won the lottery and died the next day
B E B C#m
It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay
B E B C#m
It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late
B E B
Isn’t it ironic
C#m
don’t you think
[Chorus]
B E B C#m
It’s like rain on your wedding day
B E B C#m
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
B E B C#m
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
D A
Who would’ve thought
B
it figures
[Verse]
B E B C#m
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
B E B C#m
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
B E B C#m
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
B E
And as the plane crashed down he thought
B C#m
"Well isn’t this nice"
B E B
And isn’t it ironic
C#m
don’t you think
[Chorus]
B E B C#m
It’s like rain on your wedding day
B E B C#m
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
B E B C#m
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take
D A
Who would’ve thought
B
it figures
[Bridge]
A B
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
A B
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
A B
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
A
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
B
In your face
[Verse]
B E B C#m
A traffic jam when you’re already late
B E B C#m
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
B E B C#m
It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
B E
It’s meeting the man of my dreams
B C#m
And then meeting his beautiful wife
B E B
And isn’t it ironic
C#m
don’t you think
B E
A little too ironic
B C#m
and yeah I really do think
[Chorus]
B E B C#m
It’s like rain on your wedding day
B E B C#m
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
B E B C#m
It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take

Who would’ve thought
