Ironic

   F#  H   F#            G#mi
An old man turned ninety-eight 

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 to late

   Who would have thought... it figures 

Mr. play-it-safe was afraid to fly 
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye 
He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight 
And as the plane crashed down he thouht "well isn't this nice..."

And life has a funny way of helping you out when

you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face 


A traffic jam when you are 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 like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his Beautiful wife 

and isn't it ironic... don't you think?
