[ verse 1 ]
Bm
what’s my problem?
C#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
C#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 C#m
neon gravestones try to call

A E7
neon gravestones try to call for my bones
( neon gravestones try to call )
G

[ verse 2 ]
Bm
what’s my problem?
don’t get it twisted
C#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
C#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

but they won’t get them
Bm
no , they won’t get them
Em

D

[ 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
