A5           Em/A         D5               F
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
          Am                    Em/A            D5             F
I've been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
        D5              A5           D5             A5
And I'm young enough to look at, and far too old to see
       F                A5
All my scars are on the inside
D5            D5                               E5  E5  E5
I'm not sure that there's anything left of me

[Pre-Chorus]
      D5                  A5       D5            A5         D5
Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it

[Interlude]
D5   A5   D5   D5

[Pre-Chorus]
     F                Am
It's time we had some leave

[Chorus]
A5    C    D5
We've been living in the flames
A5    C    D5
We've been eating up our brains
C  D5                                A5
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

[Verse 2]
    Am             Am7                D/A      F/A
You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
    Am              Am7               D/A                F/A
You blame me for my silence, say it's time I changed and grew
        D5                A5                    D5            A5
But the war's still going on, dear, and there's no end that I know
    F5               A5
And I can't stand forever

D5          D5                           E5  E5  E5
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free

[Pre-Chorus]
      D5                  A5       D5            A5         D5
Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it

[Interlude]
D5   A5   D5   D5

[Pre-Chorus]
     F                Am
It's time we had some leave

[Chorus]
A5    C    D5
We've been living in the flames
A5    C    D5
We've been eating at our brains
C  D5                                A5
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
   Am        Am7                   D/A         F/A
My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed
       D5             A5               D5             A5
I have used up all my weapons, and I'm helpless and bereaved
F5                 A5
Wounds are all I'm made of
D5             D5                         E5  E5  E5
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

[Pre-Chorus]
          D5                  A5       D5            A5         D5
No! Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
     F                Am
It's time we had some leave

We've been living in the flames
A5    C    D5
We've been eating at our brains
C  D5                                A5   G5   A5
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.
      G5                  Am   C    G
Don't let these shakes go ooooon!
      F5                  Am   C    G          Am
Don't let these shakes go ooooon.
