The Offspring – This Is Not Utopia (Guitar)

                       F#m      D    A
Like a shot without a warning

        E                F#m     D    A    E
Lies a life that's left behind

      F#m               D                A
And though I try, it's something I just can't unsee

      E              F#m      D    A
It's burned into my mind

       E              F#m      D    A
And I wake up in the morning

             E            F#m      D    A    E
News keeps flashing on my eyes

       F#m                D
These dying streets are bruised and beaten

     A              E
And riot flags are waving

 F#m              D
Poor and weak, we extend this streak

       A                 E
These lives we could be saving

 D
Life is cheap I sit and weep

         Bm
'Cause there's just no mistaking

C#m
Oh, this is not utopia

     F#m        D          A         E
The roots, the roots, the roots of America

         F#m        D          A            E
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria

     F#m        D          A           E         F#m
The roots, the roots, the rules don't matter anymorе

  E
This is not utopia

     F#m        D          A         E
The roots, the roots, the roots of America

         F#m        D          A            E
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria

     F#m      D        A         E         F#m
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore

                          F#m    D    A
The better angels of our nature

               E            F#m    D    A    E
Well, they've gone away to hide

    F#m      D
Brutality I can't unsee

       A                 E              F#m    D    A
These pictures are just burned into my mind

         E              F#m    D    A
It's commotion in slow motion

        E        F#m    D    A    E
It's humanity denied

   F#m                D
A violent race, punch in the face

     A                  E             F#m    D    A    E
With all this hate how can we all survive?

           D
And if a change is coming

               E
What makes it take so long?

           D
And if a change is coming

              C#m      E
Why sing the same old song?

  E
This is not utopia

     F#m        D          A         E
The roots, the roots, the roots of America

         F#m        D          A            E
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria

     F#m        D          A           E         F#m
The roots, the roots, the rules don't matter anymorе

  F#m
This is not utopia

     F#m        D          A         E
The roots, the roots, the roots of America

         F#m        D          A            E
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria

     F#m      D        A         E         F#m
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore

  F#m
This is not utopia

     F#m        D          A         E
The roots, the roots, the roots of America

         F#m        D          A            E
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria

     F#m      D        A         E         F#m
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore

  F#m
This is not utopia

        D            E
So how long must we wait?

       D             E
Until love conquers hate?

                D
And heal these hearts

                C#m   E     F#m
'Cause it all starts right here
