Intro: Bm F# A E G
Bm
What's my problem?
Well, I want you to follow me
F#m
Down to the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum
A
Keep your wits about you while you got 'em
'Cause your wits are first to
E
Go while you're problem-solvin'
And my problem?
G
We glorify those even more when they
Bm
My opinion, our culture can treat a loss like
F#m
It's a win
And right before we turn on them
A
We give 'em the highest of praise
And hang their banner
E
From the ceiling
Communicating, further engraving
G
An earlier grave is an optional way, no
Bm F#m
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
A E
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
G
Call (For my bones)
Call, call, call (Call, call)
Bm F#m A E
Call (Call)
G
Call (Call)
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
E
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
E
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'
Bm F#m
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
A E
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
G
Call (For my bones)
Call, call, call (Call, call)
Bm F#m A E
Call (Call)
G
Call (Call)
A
Promise me this (Call, call)
Bm
If I lose to myself
Em
You won't mourn a day
D
And you'll move onto someone else
A
Promise me this
Bm
If I lose to myself
Em
You won't mourn a day
D
And you'll move onto someone else
(Ooh, call, ooh, call)
A Bm
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Em D
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
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
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'
A
Well, I'm refusing the lesson
Bm
It won't resonate in our minds
Em
I'm not disrespecting what was left behind
D
Just pleading that it does not get glorified
A
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high
Bm
Find your grandparents or someone of age
Em
Pay some respects for the path that they paved
D
To life, they were dedicated
A
Now, that should be celebrated
