D5

Verse 1:
        D5
In this present state of grace
          A5
I hold my head up high
            G5
Though the water damage froze
         D5
Another flood will soon be by
G5            D5
Here and now is all we'll be
             A5                              D5
So it's this present state of grace I offer thee

Chorus 1:
        B5          G5
Welcome home to the men
        D5
And the women who defend
              B5            G5
Back to their lives and the lies
        D5             A5
Shat on them by government
            D5             G5
Through the barbs and the pokes
        D5                 G5
And the ones we'd like to choke
          D5                A5             D5
It's this present state of grace I offer thee

Verse 2:
In this present state of grace
A poor man robbed me blind
Though I offered him the cash
He said 'don't insult my pride'
To each their own
We're just flesh and bone
An this present state of grace I offer thee

Verse 3:
In this present state of grace
I saw the wall capsize
And through the banks they fell
Into the swelling tide
Let them eat cake
For our mistakes
And this present state of grace I offer thee

Chorus 2:
So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne
Under the carpet sweep behind
Where passengers making turns
Towards the coming great divide
The true prophet never spoke
He just smiles and saw the joke
And this present state of grace I offer thee

Bridge:
           A5                                       D5
'Cause only life, yeah only life has loneliness to sell
       A5                                             D5
So celebrate, yeah live your life, live it and raise hell
        G5
The true prophet never spoke
        D5
He just smiled and saw the joke
         A5                                   D5
And this present state of grace we creatures need
