Intro:

Cmaj7 D6? Cmaj7 D**
Hi yi yi— yi yi yi yi yi yi

D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
An old man turned ninety-eight
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
He won the lottery and died the next day
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
It´s a black fly in your Chardonnay
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
It´s a death row pardon two minutes too late
D/F# G(9) D/F# Em7
Isn´t it ironic … don´t you think

Chorus:
D G D Em7
It´s like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em7
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid
D G D Em7
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take
F C Dsus
Who would ´ve thought … it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
” Well isn´t this nice … ”
And isn´t it ironic … don´t you think

Chorus:
D G D Em7
It´s like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em7
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid
D G D Em7
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take
F C Dsus
Who would ´ve thought … it figures

Cmaj7 D6?
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7 D6?
When you think everything´s okay and everything´s going right
Cmaj7 D6?
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
Cmaj7 D6?
You think everything´s gone wrong and everything blows up
D**
In your face

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
And isn´t it ironic … don´t you think
D /F# G(9) D/F# Em7
A little too ironic … and yeah I really do think …

Chorus:
D G D Em7
It´s like rain on your wedding day
D G D Em7
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid
D G D Em7
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take
F C Dsus
Who would ´ve thought … it figures

Cmaj7 D6?
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7 D6? Cmaj7
Life has a funny, funny way — of helping you out

Helping you out
