[Intro]
[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
[Interlude]
D5 A5 D5 D5

F Am
It’s time we had some leave
[Chorus]

We’ve been living in the flames

Oh please, don’t let these shakes go on.

Am Am7 D/A F/A
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
