[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)
A E7
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
G
Call
(For my bones)
Bm F#m
Call, call, 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
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
A E7
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
G
Call
(For my bones)
Bm F#m
Call, call, call
A E7
Call
G
Call
[Bridge]
Bm/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
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
[Interlude]
A Bm Em D
(Call)
A Bm Em D
(Call)
[Chorus]
A Bm
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Em D
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
(Call, call, call)
A Bm
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Em D
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
[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
