IRONIC
Alanis Morissette
Vorspiel:
Emaj7 F#6+4 Emaj7
Hey-ey hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
1. Strophe:
F# H F# G#m
An old man turned ninety-eight,
F# H F# G#m
He won the lottery and died the next day.
F# H F# G#m
ItÆs a black fly in your Chardonnay,
F# H F# G#m
ItÆs a death row pardon two minutes to late.
F# H F# G#m
And isnÆt it ironic, donÆt you think ?
Refrain:
F# H F# G#m
ItÆs like rain on your wedding day.
F# H F# G#m
ItÆs a free ride, when youÆve already paid.
F# H F# G#m
ItÆs the good advice that you just didnÆt take.
A E F#
And who would have thought, it figures ?
2. Strophe:
Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly,
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye.
He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight.
And as the plane crashed down he thought, äWell, isnÆt this nice ?ô
And isnÆt it ironic, donÆt you think ?
Refrain:
Zwischenspiel:
Emaj7 F#6+4
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.
Emaj7 F#6+4
When you think everything is okay and everything is going right.
Emaj7 F#6+4
And life has a funny way of helping you out.
Emaj7
When you think everythingÆs gone wrong and everything blows up in your face.
3. Strophe:
A traffic jam, when youÆre already late.
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break.
ItÆs like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.
ItÆs meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife.
And isnÆt it ironic, donÆt you think ?
A little too ironic and yeah I really do think.
Refrain (2 mal):
Nachspiel:
Emaj7 F#6+4
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.
Emaj7 F#6+4 Emaj7
Life has a funny, funny way, of helping you out, helping you out.
