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

It´s like rain on your wedding day 
            F#  B             F#       G#m 
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid 
              F#  B            F#           G#m 
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take

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

It´s meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife 
              F#    B  F#               G#m 
And isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think

A little too ironic ... and yeah I really do think ...
