Verse 1: An [F#]old [B]man [F#]turned ninety-[G#m]eight
He won the [F#]lotte[B]ry and [F#]died the next [G#m]day
It's a [F#]black [B]fly in [F#]your chardon[G#m]nay
It's a [F#]death row [B]pardon two [F#]minutes to [G#m]late
And isn't it [F#]ironic...[B] Don't you [F#]think?[G#m]
Chorus: It's like ra[F#]in [B] on your [F#]wedding [G#m]day
It's a free [F#]rid[B]e when you've [F#]already [G#m]paid
It's the good [F#]adv[B]ice that you [F#]just didn't [G#m]take
And [A]who would have [G#m]thought... It fig[F#]ures?

And as the [F#]plane [B]crashed down he thought, "well [F#]isn't this [G#m]nice?"

Bridge: (Play the intro 1 rhythm throughout this part)
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
(Rhy Fig 5)
When you think everything is okay and everything's going right
(Rhy Fig 6)
And life has a funny way of helping you out when you think
Everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
(Intro 2 rhy)
