The Present State Of Grace

[D]

In this [D]present state of grace
I hold my [A]head up high
Though the w[G]ater damage froze
Another f[D]lood will soon be by
[G]Here and now [D]is all we'll be
So it's this [A]present state of grace I offer [D]thee

Welcome [Bm]home to the [G]men
And the [D]women who defend
Back to their [Bm]lives and the [G]lies
Shat on [D]them by govern[A]ment
Through the [D]barbs and the [G]pokes
And the [D]ones we'd like to [G]choke
It's this [D]present state of [A]grace I offer [D]thee

[A] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A] [A] [A]

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

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

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

'Cause only[A] life, yeah only life has loneliness to [D]sell
So cele[A]brate, yeah live your life, live it and raise [D]hell
The true[G] prophet never spoke
He just [D]smiled and saw the joke
And this [A]present state of grace we creatures [D]need

similar to above

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