An (G/B)old (C)(add2)man (G/B)turned ninety-(Am7)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

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..."

Well (Fmaj7)life has a funny way of sneaking up on (G6) you 

When you think everything is okay and (Fmaj7) everything's Going right (G6)

And (Fmaj7)life has a funny way of helping you out (G6) when 

you think everything's gone wrong and (Fmaj7)everything blows up in your face (C)





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? 

a little too ironic... and yeah i really do think...
