Ironic

Alanis Morrisette

[Intro]

Emaj7 F#6add11

[Verse 1]

Emaj7 Eadd9 F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7

An old man turned ninetyeight
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
He won the lottery and died the next day
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
And isn't it ironic don't you think

[Chorus]

F# B F# G#m
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
A E F# F#sus4
and Who would've thought, it figures

[Verse 2]

F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
 F#/A# Bsus2
And as the plane crashed down he thought
F#/A# G#m7
"Well, isn't this nice.
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
And isn't it ironic, don't you think

[Chorus]

F# B F# G#m
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
A E F# F#sus4
and Who would've thought, it figures

[Bridge]

Emaj7 F#6add11
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Emaj7 Eadd9
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
Emaj7 F#6add11
And life has a funny way helping you out when
Emaj7
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
Eadd9
In your face

[Verse 3]

F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7

A traffic jam when you're already late

F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7

A nosmoking sign on your cigarette break
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
 F#/A# Bsus2
It's meeting the man of my dreams
F#/A# G#m7
And then meeting his beautiful wife
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
F#/A# Bsus2 F#/A# G#m7
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

[Chorus]

F# B F# G#m
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
A E F# F#sus4
and Who would've thought, it figures

[Outro]

Emaj7
F#6add11
and you
Emaj7 F#6add11
life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Emaj7 F#6add11 Emaj7
And life has a funny funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.
