Chords

[Intro] 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
[Instrumental] A G D G D A A A [Verse 2]
        D
In this present state of grace

           A
A poor man robbed me blind

         G
Though I offered him the cash

               D
He said 'don't insult my pride'

G                  D
To each their own, we're just flesh and bone

        A                              D
An this present state of grace I offer thee
[Verse 3]
        D
In this present state of grace

          A
I saw the wall capsize

    G
And through the banks they fell

         D
Into the swelling tide

G                  D
Let them eat cake, For our mistakes

         A                              D
And this present state of grace I offer thee
[Chorus 2]
              Bm                   G
So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne

          D
Under the carpet sweep behind

            Bm          G
Where passengers making turns

            D            A
Towards the coming great divide

         D             G
The true prophet never spoke

        D                  G
He just smiles and saw the joke

         D                A             D
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

         A                                   D
And this present state of grace we creatures need
[Instrumental] A G D G D A A A
                A                                   D
Yeah, it's this present state of grace we creatures need
