[Verse 1]
Am
What's my problem?
Em7/B
Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum
G6
Keep your wits about you while you got 'em
Dsus2/A
'Cause your wits are first to go while you're problem-solving
F6/C
And my problem?
We glorify those, even more, when they
Am
My opinion
Our culture can treat a loss
Em7/B
Like it's a win and right before we turn on them
G6 Dsus2/A
We give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner from a ceiling
F6/C
Communicating, further engraving
An earlier grave is an optional way
No
[Chorus]
Am Em7/B
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
G6 Dsus2/A
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
F6/C
Call
(For my bones)
Am Em7/B
Call, call, call
G6 Dsus2/A
Call
F6/C
Call

Am
What's my problem?
Don't get it twisted
Em/B
It's with the people we praise who may have assisted
G
I could use the streams and extra conversations
G/A
I could give up, and boost up my reputation
F/C
I could go out with a bang
They would know my name
They would host and post a celebration
N.C
My opinion will not be lenient
N.C
My opinion, it's real convenient
N.C
Our words are loud, but now I'm talking action
N.C
We don't get enough love?
N.C
Well, they get a fraction
N.C
They say, "How could he go if he's got everything?"
N.C
I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king
[Chorus]
Am Em7/B
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
G6 Dsus2/A
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
F6/C
Call
(For my bones)
Call, call, call
Call
Call

G
But they won't get them
Am
No, they won't get them
Dm7
They won't get them
C
But they won't get them
[Verse 3]
G
Don't get me wrong
The rise in awareness
Am
Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us
Dm7
But for sake of discussion
In spirit of fairness
C
Could we give this some room for a new point of view?
G
And, could it be true that some could be tempted
Am
To use this mistake as a form of aggression?
Dm7
A form of succession?
A form of a weapon?
C
Thinking "I'll teach them"
Well, I'm refusing the lesson
G
It won't resonate in our minds
Am
I'm not disrespecting what was left behind
Dm7
Just pleading that "it" does not get glorified
C
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high
G
Find your grandparents or someone of age
Am
Pay some respects for the path that they paved
Dm7
To life, they were dedicated
C
Now, that should be celebrated
