[Verse 1]
[D]An [G]old[D] ma[G]n t[D]urned[G]
[D]98
[Em]He w[D]on the lottery a[G]nd d[D]ied the next day
[Em]It's a black[D] fly in yo[G]ur[D] chardonnay[Em]
It's [D]a death row p[G]ardon t[D]ill it's too late
[Em]Isn't it i[D]roni[G]c, don't you t[D]hink?
[Em]It's like [D]rain [G]on your [D]wedding day
[Em]It's a free [D]ride [G]when
you've [D]already paid
[Em]It's a good [D]ad vice,
[G]that you jus[D]t didn't tak[Em]e
And [F]who would [C]have thought, it [D]figures
Mr. Pretty [G]Safe, was [D]afraid of flight
[Em]He packed his su[D]itcase,
[G]and kissed his kid[D]s goodbye
[Em]He waited his whol[D]e damn life,[G]
to [D]take that flight
[Em]And as the plane[D] crashed down,
[G]he thought, well isn[D]'t this nice
[Em]And isn't it ironi[D]c, don't[Em] you think[D]?
[Em]It's like waiting [D]on [G]a wed[D]ding day[Em]
It's a free [D]ride [G]when
you're [D]already [Em]paid
It's the good [D]advice[G]
that you [D]just did[Em]n't take
And [F]who would [C]have thought it'd [D]figure
Life [C]is a funny way of
sneaking up on [D]you
When you think everything's okay
and [C]everything's gone [D]right
Life [C]is a funny way of
helping you [D]out
When you think everything's gone wrong
and [C]everything blows up in your face
[G]A traf[D] fi[G]c ja[D]m when[G]
you're [D]running late
[Em]And no s[D]moking s[G]ign
on [D]your cigarette [Em]break
It's like [D]ten thousand spoons
when all you need is [Em]a knife
It's [D]like meeting the man of my [G]dreams
And [D]that meaning is beautiful wife
[Em]Isn't it [D]ironic, [G]don't you [D]think?
[Em]A little too iro[D]nic
[G]Yeah, I rea[D]lly do think
[Em]It's like [D]rain [G]on your [D]wedding day
[Em]A free ride [D]when[G] you'v[D]e already paid[Em]
It's a good ad[D]vice [G]that
you [D]just can't take
[Em]And who [F]woul[C]d've
thought it [D]vig[C]orous
Ooh, [D]ooh, ooh, [C]oh, [Em]oh[D]
