Veteran Of The Psychic Wars

You [F#m]see me now, a veteran Of a th[E]ousand psychic wa[D]rs
You ask me why I'm weary Why I can't speak to you
You see me now a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars

[F#m]I've been living on the edge so l[E]ong Where the winds[D] of limbo roar
You blame me for my silence Say it's time I changed and grew
My energy is spent at last And my armor is destroyed

And I'm y[B]oung enough to l[F#m]ook at And far[B] too old to se[F#m]e
But the war's still going on, dear And there's no end that I know
I have used up all my weapons And I'm helpless and bereaved

All the s[D]cars are on the in[A]side
And I can't say if we're ever
Wounds are all I'm made of

[F#m]I'm not sure that there's anything left[C#] of me
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free
Did I hear you say that this is victory

[Bm]Don't let these shakes go on[A]
Don't let these shakes go on
It's t[Bm]ime we had a break from it
It's time we had a break from it
[Bm]It's time we had some le[F#m]ave
Send me to the rear
[F#m]We've been li[B]ving in the flames
Where the tides of madness swell
[F#m]We've been e[B]ating out our brains
And been sliding into hell
Oh, [B]please [A]don't l[B]et t[A]hese s[F#m]hakes g[E]o on[F#m]
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
