Ironic

Ironic
Alanis Morisette

Capo IV

    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
It´s a black fly in your Chardonnay
       D         G          D           Em
It´s a death row pardon two minutes too late
          D    G            D    Em
Isn´t it ironic, don´t you think 

CHORUS

         D   G         D       Em
It´s like rain on your wedding day
            D  G             D       Em
It´s a free ride when you´ve already paid
                D G           D           Em
It´s the good advice that you just didn´t take
F            C              D 
Who would´ve 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 isn´t this nice"
          D    G            D    Em
Isn´t it ironic, don´t you think 

CHORUS

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

  D        G              D            Em
A traffic jam when you´re already late
     D       G            D          Em
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
          D            G                   D         Em
It´s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
      D                    G       
It´s meeting the man of my dreams
                     D         Em
And then meeting his beautiful wife
          D    G            D    Em
Isn´t it ironic, don´t you think 
         D         G            D          Em
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

CHORUS

Cmaj7                   
   Life has a funny way
                   D
Of sneaking up on you
Cmaj7 
  Life has a funny, funny way
D              Cmaj7
  Of helping you out
