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
        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 
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                 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
