Ironic - Acoustic Version

Lyrics

An old man turned 98
 He won the lottery and died the next day
 It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
 It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
 And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
 It's like rain on your wedding day
 It's a free ride when you've already paid
 It's the good advice that you just didn't take
 And who would've thought? It figures
 Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
 He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
 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?
 It's like rain on your wedding day
 It's a free ride when you've already paid
 It's the good advice that you just didn't take
 And who would've thought? It figures
 Well, life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you
 When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right
 Yeah, well, life has a funny way of helpin' you out
 When you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up 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, then meeting his beautiful husband
 And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
 A little too ironic, and yeah, I really do think
 It's like rain on your wedding day
 It's a free ride when you've already paid
 It's the good advice that you just didn't take
 And who would've thought? It figures
