  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

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

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?
