A5 - let ring
[Verse 1]
    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

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.
