Verse 1:
Bm
What's my problem?
                                   F#m
Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom

Underneath the insane asylum
A
Keep your wits about you while you got 'em
                     E7
'Cause your wits are first to go while you're problem-solving
            G
And my problem?

We glorify those, even more, when they
Bm
My opinion

Our culture can treat a loss
     F#m
Like it's a win and right before we turn on them
   A                                                      E7
We give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner from a ceiling
                         G
Communicating, further engraving

An earlier grave is an optional way

No


Chorus:
Bm                      F#m
Neon gravestones try to call

(Neon gravestones try to call)

Neon gravestones try to call for my bones

(Neon gravestones try to call)

A     E7
Call
G
Call


Verse 2:
Bm
What's my problem?

Don't get it twisted
              F#m
It's with the people we praise who may have assisted
        A
I could use the streams and extra conversations
        E7
I could give up, and boost up my reputation
        G
I could go out with a bang

They would know my name

They would host and post a celebration
Bm
My opinion will not be lenient
F#m
My opinion, it's real convenient
    A
Our words are loud, but now I'm talking action
         E7
We don't get enough love?

Well, they get a fraction
           G
They say, "How could he go if he's got everything?"

I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king

Call

(For my bones)

Call


Bridge:

Promise me this
     Bm
If I lose to myself

You won't mourn a day
           D
And you'll move onto someone else
A
Promise me this
     Bm
If I lose to myself

You won't mourn a day
           D
And you'll move onto someone else

Bridge:
         A
But they won't get them
         Bm
No, they won't get them
     Em
They won't get them
         D
But they won't get them


Verse 3:
A
Don't get me wrong

The rise in awareness
   Bm
Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us
        Em
But for sake of discussion

In spirit of fairness
         D
Could we give this some room for a new point of view?
     A
And, could it be true that some could be tempted
   Bm
To use this mistake as a form of aggression?
  Em
A form of succession?

A form of a weapon?
          D
Thinking "I'll teach them"

Well, I'm refusing the lesson
   A
It won't resonate in our minds
    Bm
I'm not disrespecting what was left behind
     Em
Just pleading that "it" does not get glorified
         D
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high
A
Find your grandparents or someone of age
Bm
Pay some respects for the path that they paved
   Em
To life, they were dedicated
     D
Now, that should be celebrated
