    D  G   D              Em
An old man  turned ninety-eight   

            D   G     
He won the lottery and 

D            Em
Died the next day

       D     G          D        Em
ItΒ΄s a black fly in your  Chardonnay

       D         G     
ItΒ΄s a death row pardon

     D           Em
 Two minutes too late

          D    G  D               Em
IsnΒ΄t it ironic ... donΒ΄t you think

       D       Em
YouΒ΄ve already paid

              D  G        
ItΒ΄s the good advice that 

    D           Em
You just didnΒ΄t take 

    F          C                  D
Who wouldΒ΄ve thought ... it figures 

 
 
[Verse]
 
   D        G       D         Em
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

   D          G            
He packed his suitcase and 

D              Em
kissed his kids good-bye

              D          
He waited his whole damn 

G       D         Em
Life to take that flight

           D             G
And as the plane crashed down he thought

D                  Em
" Well isnΒ΄t this nice ... "

              D    G  D  
And isnΒ΄t it ironic ... 

              Em
DonΒ΄t you think

ItΒ΄s a free ride when 

       D       Em
YouΒ΄ve already paid

              D  G       
ItΒ΄s the good advice that 

    D           Em
You just didnΒ΄t take

    F          C                  D
Who wouldΒ΄ve thought ... it figures 
 
 
[Bridge]
 
      Cmaj7               
Well life has a funny way 

   Gmaj7/D
Of sneaking up on you

                            Cmaj7    
When you think everythingΒ΄s okay and

EverythingΒ΄s going right 

     Cmaj7

  D       G         
A traffic jam when 

      D          Em
YouΒ΄re   already late

     D       G      
A no-smoking sign on 

     D        Em
Your cigarette break

          D            G         
ItΒ΄s like ten thousand spoons when 

       D         Em
All you need is a knife

                  D        G
ItΒ΄s meeting the man of my dreams

                     D         Em
And then meeting his beautiful wife

              D    G  D   
And isnΒ΄t it ironic ... 
              Em
DonΒ΄t you think

        D     G                  
A little too ironic ... and yeah

   D        Em
 I really do think ...

ItΒ΄s the good advice that

Who wouldΒ΄ve thought ... it figures
