Blue Oyster Cult - Veteran of the psychic wars

You ^F#msee me now, a veteran Of a th^Eousand psychic wa^Drs You ask me why I'm weary Why I can't speak to you You see me now a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars

^F#mI've been living on the edge so l^Eong Where the winds^D of limbo roar You blame me for my silence Say it's time I changed and grew My energy is spent at last And my armor is destroyed

And I'm y^Boung enough to l^F#mook at And far^B too old to se^F#me But the war's still going on, dear And there's no end that I know I have used up all my weapons And I'm helpless and bereaved

All the s^Dcars are on the in^Aside And I can't say if we're ever Wounds are all I'm made of

^F#mI'm not sure that there's anything left^C# of me I can't say if we're ever gonna be free Did I hear you say that this is victory

Refrain

^BmDon't let these shakes go on^A Don't let these shakes go on It's t^Bmime we had a break from it It's time we had a break from it ^BmIt's time we had some le^F#mave Send me to the rear ^F#mWe've been li^Bving in the flames Where the tides of madness swell ^F#mWe've been e^Bating out our brains And been sliding into hell Oh, ^Bplease ^Adon't l^Bet t^Ahese s^F#mhakes g^Eo on^F#m Oh, please don't let shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on
