[Intro]
A  C(3rd fret)  G  E (play twice)

   A
My edge is keen and I've honed my skill
         C         G              E
I've got nerves of steel and an iron will
           A
My skin is bronze, my trim is chrome,
C     G                   E
Climb aboard - I'll drive you home
      A
I'm a silver - tongued devil with a heart of gold,
     C     G            E
When I was made they broke the mould
   A
My blood runs hot, like molten lead,
C        G                      E
Pump you full - I'm gonna knock you dead

A  C  G  E (twice)

I don't mince words, I spit 'em out
I won't leave room for any doubt
Get to the point, stop splitting hair
That ain't getting either of us anywhere
Sometimes it's better to be blunt
But is this some kind of publicity stunt?
So far you've whet my appetite,
Do you wanna grind with me tonight?

A  C  G  E  (twice)

[Chorus]
D      C             G/B           C
Axegrinder - I'm not famous for my tact
D      C                G/B           C
Axegrinder - I've gotta sharpen up my act
D      C             G/B                   C
Axegrinder - Try and see things through my eyes
D              C             B                A
Everything and everyone gets cut back down to size

On the brink of who knows what?
We've gotta strike while the iron's hot
l can hold your hand, try to guide you through
But I can't make your moves for you

Everything and everyone gets cut back down to size

Swing my blade - that's how it's done
Don't stop me now, I've only just begun
A     [no music]
I was told when I was young
I wouldn't work in an iron lung
Now I've learned a trick of two
I'm working up a sweat for you

A  C  G  E
Sweat for you
For you
You

Axegrinder - I'm not famous for my tact
Axegrinder - better sharpen up my act
Axegrinder
