Intro:
| F# minorF#m |


Verse 1:
            F# minorF#m   D MajorD  A augmentedA
Like a shot without a warning
    E MajorE        F# minorF#m   D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
Lies a life that's left behind
   F# minorF#m        D MajorD        A augmentedA
And though I try, it's something I just can't unsee
   E MajorE       F# minorF#m   D MajorD  A augmentedA
It's burned into my mind
    E MajorE       F# minorF#m   D MajorD  A augmentedA
And I wake up in the morning
       E MajorE      F# minorF#m   D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
News keeps flashing on my eyes
    F# minorF#m        D MajorD
These dying streets are bruised and beaten
   A augmentedA       E MajorE
And riot flags are waving
 F# minorF#m       D MajorD
Poor and weak, we extend this streak
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
These lives we could be saving
 D MajorD
Life is cheap I sit and weep
     B minorBm
'Cause there's just no mistaking

Chorus:
C# minorC#m
Oh, this is not utopia
   F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
     F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
   F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE     F# minorF#m
The roots, the roots, the rules don't matter anymorе
 E MajorE
This is not utopia
   F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
     F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
   F# minorF#m   D MajorD    A augmentedA     E MajorE     F# minorF#m
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore

Verse 2:
             F# minorF#m  D MajorD  A augmentedA
The better angels of our nature
        E MajorE      F# minorF#m  D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
Well, they've gone away to hide
  F# minorF#m   D MajorD
Brutality I can't unsee
    A augmentedA         E MajorE       F# minorF#m  D MajorD  A augmentedA
These pictures are just burned into my mind
     E MajorE       F# minorF#m  D MajorD  A augmentedA
It's commotion in slow motion
    E MajorE    F# minorF#m  D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
It's humanity denied
  F# minorF#m        D MajorD
A augmentedA violent race, punch in the face
   A augmentedA         E MajorE       F# minorF#m  D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
With all this hate how can we all survive?


Pre-Chorus:
      D MajorD
And if a change is coming
        E MajorE
What makes it take so long?
      D MajorD
And if a change is coming
       C# minorC#m   E MajorE
Why sing the same old song?


Chorus:
 E MajorE
This is not utopia
   F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
     F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
   F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE     F# minorF#m
The roots, the roots, the rules don't matter anymorе
 F# minorF#m
This is not utopia
   F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
     F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
   F# minorF#m   D MajorD    A augmentedA     E MajorE     F# minorF#m
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore


Post-Chorus:
 F# minorF#m
This is not utopia
   F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
The roots, the roots, the roots of America
     F# minorF#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Are the roots, the roots, the roots of hysteria
   F# minorF#m   D MajorD    A augmentedA     E MajorE     F# minorF#m
And you, and you, and you don't matter anymore
 F# minorF#m
This is not utopia


Outro:
    D MajorD      E MajorE
So how long must we wait?
    D MajorD       E MajorE
Until love conquers hate?
        D MajorD
And heal these hearts
        C# minorC#m  E MajorE   F# minorF#m
'Cause it all starts right here
