[G] You see me now, [G] veteran [C] of a thousand psychic [Gm] wars.
I've been living on the edge [G] so long, [C] where the winds of [Gm] limbo roar.

All [Eb] the scars are [G] on these eyes.
[Gm] [C] I'm not sure [Am] that there's anything left in [D] me.

You ask me why I'm [Gm] weary.
[C] Why I can't speak [Gm] to you.
You blame me for [G] my silence.
Say [C] it's time I change [Gm] you through.
But [C] the war's still going [Gm] on, dear.
And there's no end that [G] I know.
[Eb] And I can't say [Gm] if we're ever,
[G]
[D] [C] I can't say if we're [Eb] ever gonna be [D] free.
