D

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

Chorus 1:
        Bm          G
Welcome home to the men
        D
And the women who defend
              Bm            G
Back to their lives and the lies
        D             A
Shat on them by government
            D             G
Through the barbs and the pokes
        D                 G
And the ones we'd like to choke
          D                A             D
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:
           A                                       D
'Cause only life, yeah only life has loneliness to sell
       A                                             D
So celebrate, yeah live your life, live it and raise hell
        G
The true prophet never spoke
        D
He just smiled and saw the joke
