Chords for Pat 'The Bunny' Schneeweis - From Here To Utopia (Song For The Desperate)

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Well I'm afraid that the circles I've [E] been drinking myself in are big enough for the
[Am] bowels that I try [G] to fit inside _ [E] of them.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
When I was young I drank too much [E] and I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel so goddamn [A] young tonight. _
Maybe [G] too young to ask what's [Em] on my mind. _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ Like the freedom [A] means doing what I want, [Em] well, don't I gotta [Am] want something?
_ [F] _ Won't you [Am] tell me that we want something more than [E] just more beer and my friends if that ain't true?
Won't you lie to [Am] me tonight, oh yeah! _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Well I've been listening to [E] Minor, throwing records all day and shit, fine, and I know every [Am] word.
_ I [G] sing along as I [E] tie off. _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ And Ian screams he's out of step as [E] I throw the cotton into the spoon, drop into the [A] syringe.
I'll know just [G] what he means until I [E] intervene. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ And [Am] after that I won't have to bother [E] with knowing who I [Am] am, for a while at least.
[F] _ In a [A] moment the whole world is gonna melt [E] around me and I'll swear I don't miss it as I lie
to you [C] tonight.
_ Cause [E] I'm afraid to look [A] the world [F] in the eye.
_ [C] _ _ If [E] nothing's gonna [A] change, well then, [F] I'd rather die.
_ [C] _ And I'm too [E] unemployed to order an appeal, [Am] I'm too _ [F] intoxicated to tear down a [C] building.
I'm too [E] hopeless to look for a solution, [Am] I'm afraid that if I found one [F] I'd be out of excuses
[C] for the way I waste away.
[E] In the gutters that I [Am] chose, I fashion accessories [F] to go with my dirty [C] clothes.
I haven't bathed in months, [E] you know it's not because [Am] I've been fighting bourgeois morals,
[F] I'm just lazy and I'm young.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I've seen the best minds of my [E] generation dying drunk or high from the rooftops of the parking [A] lots.
Stuck [G] dancing West [E] Philadelphian squats. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ They got me waiting on a day when [E] we can say fuck the police with a little bit of integrity
[A] _ when it'll [G] mean I've got your back if [D] you've [E] got mine. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ Give me [A] a scene where I believe in more [Em] than bad haircuts, guilt, [A] and misery. _ _
[F] Don't know where I fit [A] between the vegans and the nihilists, [E] that might be the first
thing I've said, that wasn't a [C] lie tonight!
Cause there's gotta [E] be something more [Am] than lying in the front yard naked [F] screaming at the constellations.
[C] I want something more than [E] an apology to [A] say when I look the world [F] in the eye.
I'll [C] tell you man, my friend William came to [E] me with a message of [A] hope.
It went fuck you and [F] everything that you think you know.
[C] If you don't step outside, [E] the things that you believe, [A] they're gonna kill _ _ [F] you. _
[C] You didn't know what's gonna stop [E] you from dying young, you [Am] miserable and right.
If you want something [F] better, you gotta put [C] that shit aside.
I've thought about [E] how for thousands of [Am] years there have been people who told us that [F] they
can't go on like [C] this.
From Jesus [E] Christ to the diggers, from [Am] Malthus to Sersen, from Karl [F] Marx to Huey Newton,
but the shit [C] goes on and [E] on and on and [A] on and _ [F] [C] on and on and on and on.
[E] _ _ [A] _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ I'm not saying [F] that we can't change the world, [C] not [G] everybody does, [A] at least a [F] little bit of that.
[A] _ _
But I [E] won't shit [F] myself.
The way I'm [C] living is a [G] temper [Am] tantrum and I need something [E] else, need [F] something else,
need something [G] else to stay [C] alive.
Whoa. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ [E] _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [F] And on the [Am] night when I play my last show, I [E] hope I'm screaming so [Am] loud that my heart explodes.
[F] And I'll be [A] singing, _ I'll be singing [E] we are free. _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Am] Oh, but won't you promise me [E] that we won't ever [Am] forget what that means.
[F] _
I [Am] know it's hard to give a shit _ [E] sometimes, but promise me we'll always try.
_ [F] _
_ Cause [A] I don't wanna hate you, _
[E] _ _ _ [A] and I don't wanna hate me, _ [F] _ _ and I [A] don't wanna have to hate
[E] everything _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] anymore. _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
