This Present State of Grace Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 2]
[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 [G]to choke
It's this [D]present state of [A]grace
I offer [D]thee[A]
[G][D][G][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[A]
In this [D]present state of grace
A poor man [A]robbed me blind
Though I [G]offered him the cash
He said 'don't in[D]sult
[G]my pride'
To each their own
[D]We're just flesh and bone
An this [A]present state of
grace I offer [D]thee

[Verse 4]
In this present state of [D]grace
I saw the [A]wall capsize
And [G]through the banks they fell
Into [D]the swelling tide
[G]Let them eat cake
[D]For our mistakes
And this [A]present state of
grace I [D]offer thee

[Verse 5]
So let's sing good[Bm]bye
to Auld Lang [G]Syne
Under the [D]carpet, sweep behind
Where passen[Bm]gers
making [G]turns
Towards the [D]coming [A]great divide
The true [D]prophet never [G]spoke
[D]He just smiled and saw [G]the joke
And this [D]present state of
[A]grace I offer [D]thee

[Verse 6]
'Cause only [A]life,
yeah only life has loneliness to [D]sell
So [A]celebrate, yeah live your life,
live it and raise [D]hell
The true [G]prophet never spoke
[D]He just smiled and saw the joke
And this [A]present state of grace we creatures
[D]need

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][D][G]
[D][A][D][G][D]
[G]Yeah, it's this [A]present state of

[Verse 7]
grace we creatures [D]need
