Blue Öyster Cult - Veteran Of The Psychic Wars

ARTIST: Blue Öyster Cult TITLE: Veteran of the Psychic Wars Lyrics and Chords [Capo 3] You see me now, a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars I've been living on the edge so long Where the winds of limbo roar And I'm young enough to look at And far too old to see All the scars are on the inside I'm not sure that there's anything left of me / Em Em7 / A Em / : / A Em / / C Em - - / A - B - / {Refrain} Don't let these shakes go on It's time we had a break from it It's time we had some leave We've been living in the flames We've been eating out our brains Oh, please don't let these shakes go on / Am Em / Am EmAm Am Em Am EmAm / Am7 Am - / / EmAm Am / / EmAm EmAm Em - / You ask me why I'm weary Why I can't speak to you You blame me for my silence Say it's time I changed and grew But the war's still going on, dear And there's no end that I know And I can't say if we're ever I can't say if we're ever gonna be free {Refrain} You see me now a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars My energy is spent at last And my armor is destroyed I have used up all my weapons And I'm helpless and bereaved Wounds are all I'm made of Did I hear you say that this is victory {As Refrain} Don't let these shakes go on It's time we had a break from it Send me to the rear Where the tides of madness swell And been sliding into hell Oh, please don't let shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on ... / EmAm EmAm Em7 C/B Em7 C/B / Em7 C/B Em7 C/B / / Em - /
