Ironic

[Intro]

Hey, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey

[Verse 1]

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

[Pre-Chorus]

And isn't it ironic?

Don't you think?

[Chorus]

It's like rain on your weddin' day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

And who would've thought? It figures

[Verse 2]

Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye-ye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down, thought, "Well, isn't this nice?"

[Pre-Chorus]

And isn't it ironic?

Don't you think?

[Chorus]

It's like rain on your weddin' day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

And who would've thought? It figures

[Bridge]

Oh, life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you

When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right

Oh, and life has a funny way of helping ya out

When you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

[Verse 3]

A traffic jam when you're already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife

[Pre-Chorus]

And isn't it ironic?

Don't you think?

A little too ironic

And, yeah, I really do think

[Chorus]

It's like rain on your weddin' day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

And who would've thought? It figures

[Outro]

Yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helpin' you out

Helpin' you out
