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
