Buttnor=OSA Can, we know what you're doing Veteran of the Psychic Wars - Blue ?yster CultARTIST: Blue ?yster Cult TITLE: Veteran of the Psychic Wars F#m E D You see me now, a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars 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#m E D I've been living on the edge so long Where the winds 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 B F#m B F#m And I'm young enough to look at And far too old to see 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 D A All the scars are on the inside And I can't say if we're ever Wounds are all I'm made of F#m C# I'm not sure that there's anything left of me I can't say if we're ever gonna be free Did I hear you say that this is victory {Refrain} Bm A Don't let these shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on Bm It's time we had a break from it It's time we had a break from it Bm F#m It's time we had some leave Send me to the rear F#m B We've been living in the flames Where the tides of madness swell F#m B We've been eating out our brains And been sliding into hell B A B A F#m E F#m Oh, please don't let these shakes go on Oh, please don't let shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on
