{Verse riff} 
Blood from a stone 
Water from wine. 
Born under earplay design. 
A stroke of bad luck, 
wrong place, wrong time. 
This flyer is out of the lime. 
 
D                       G         Em 
The story is a sad one, told many times. 
D                       G      Em 
The story of my life in trying times. 
D               G       Em 
Just add water, stir in lime. 
D                                 A 
How the west was won and where it got us. 
 
{Verse riff} 
Canary got trapped, the uranium mine. 
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died. 
a marker to mark where my tears run dry. 
I cross it, bless it, alkali. 
 
D                       G         Em 
The story is a sad one, told many times. 
D                       G      Em 
The story of my life in trying times. 
D               G       Em 
Just add water, stir in lime. 
D                                 A

{Piano solo} 
 
{Verse riff} 
I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain. 
Now I can't see anything. 
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design. 
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry. 
I point my nose to the northern star, 
watch the decline from a hazy distance. 
 
D                       G         Em 
The story is a sad one, told many times. 
D                       G      Em 
The story of my life in trying times. 
D               G       Em 
Just add water, stir in lime.
