Ironic
| D | G | D | Emi | |
| An | old | man | turned ninety- | eight |

| It's a death row pardon two minutes to late |

| Mr. play-it-safe was afraid to fly |

| And | life has a funny way of helping | you out when |
| Emi | |
| 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? |
