[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

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

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

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's anything left to me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please don't let these shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence say It's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on, dear, and there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if were ever gonna be free
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh please don't let these shakes go on
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh please don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
