{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

How the west was won and where it got us.





{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.

D                                 A

How the west was won and where it got us.
