Verse 1:
  A5A5      Em/A     D5D5        FF
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
     A minorAm          Em/A      D5D5       FF
I've been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
    D5D5       A5A5      D5D5       A5A5
And I'm young enough to look at, and far too old to see
    FF        A5A5
All my scars are on the inside
D5D5      D5D5                E5E5 E5E5 E5E5
I'm not sure that there's anything left of me

Pre-Chorus:
   D5D5         A5A5    D5D5      A5A5     D5D5
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.

Verse 2:
  A minorAm       Am7Am7        D/AD/A   F/AF/A
You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
  A minorAm       Am7Am7        D/AD/A        F/AF/A
You blame me for my silence, say it's time I changed and grew
    D5D5        A5A5          D5D5      A5A5
But the war's still going on, dear, and there's no end that I know
  F5F5        A5A5
And I can't stand forever

D5D5     D5D5              E5E5 E5E5 E5E5
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free

Pre-Chorus:
   D5D5         A5A5    D5D5      A5A5     D5D5

Verse 3:
  A minorAm      Am7Am7     D/AD/A       F/AF/A
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
  A minorAm    Am7Am7          D/AD/A     F/AF/A
My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed
    D5D5       A5A5        D5D5       A5A5
I have used up all my weapons, and I'm helpless and bereaved
F5F5         A5A5
Wounds are all I'm made of
