TITLE: Veteran of the Psychic Wars

    F#m                          E                D
You see me now, a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars
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                              E                  D
I've been living on the edge so long Where the winds 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

         B               F#m           B             F#m
And I'm young enough to look at And far too old to see
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

         D                 A
All the scars are on the inside
And I can't say if we're ever
Wounds are all I'm made of

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

{Refrain}
Bm                          A
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
      Bm
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had a break from it
Bm                      F#m
It's time we had some leave
Send me to the rear
F#m          B
We've been living in the flames
Where the tides of madness swell
F#m         B
We've been eating out our brains
And been sliding into hell
    B      A      B   A     F#m    E   F#m
Oh, please don't let these shakes go on
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
