[Verse]
(Rationale)
A
Long-lost opinions
        Dmaj7
All the words you can't redeem
A                F#m
Don't come round here
           D            A
And be a slave to old ideas
        F#m
Scream hallelujah
                                 A
If it's a thing that helps you breathe

Your iron rule has often
             F#m C#m D F#m
Had me on my knees

C#m Dmaj7 A C#m D

[Chorus]
(Bastille)
                     F#m
You'd better sharpen up, you'd better sharpen up 'cause
C#m                 D
All you have's your axe to grind
A
Grind, grind
            C#m D
Round here
                     F#m
You'd better sharpen up, you'd better sharpen up 'cause
C#m                 D
All you have's your axe to grind
A
Grind, grind
            C#m D
Round here

[Verse]
(Bastille)
F#m
Breaking the silence
           C#m    D
Like I'm bursting at the seams
A                        F#m
So many stifled thoughts
      C#m    D
And long-forgotten dreams
A
Scream hallelujah
                       D
I can almost taste reprieve
A
Your iron rule has often
         D
Had me on my knees

F#m C#m Dmaj7
A C#m D

[Chorus]
(Bastille)
                     F#m
You'd better sharpen up, you'd better sharpen up 'cause

All you have's your axe to grind
A
Grind, grind
            C#m D
Round here
                     F#m
You'd better sharpen up, you'd better sharpen up 'cause
C#m                 D
All you have's your axe to grind
A
Grind, grind
            C#m D
Round here
