This Present State Of Grace

	  		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 

 
        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: 
        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 
To each their own 
D 
We're just flesh and bone 
          A                              D  
And 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 
Let them eat cake 
D 
For our mistakes 
          A                              D  
And this present state of grace I offer thee 

 
                  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
