G5         D5                       E5
Please remember the nights that we spent
      A5            C5
In the city where you lay
       G5                D5  B5
We were young and nearly famous
E5            D5                  C5
But lightning strikes and buildings fall
                    G5
And everything did change
      C5                      D5                  G5
Come on Dakota tell me you don't wish I was still the same

G5       D5               E5
I know a man dressed as a woman
      A5            C5
Heels, curly wig, and nails
          G5                         D5  B5
Fell for a boy who sold him powder and pills
E5
And the younger boy
D5
With the older man
C5              G5
He made it all wrong
      C5                  D5                 G5
And in Dakota these awful things burn away with the sun
      C5                  D5                  G5
Yes in Dakota these awful things are gone with morning sun

G5           D5                         E5
There was a boy who sang his song just different
       A5               C5
So they stabbed him in the arms
            G5            D5  B5
Blood washed down him like a faucet
E5
He cried for help
D5
And no one came
C5            G5
He died in the rain
      C5                  D5            G5
And in Dakota one day he will wake up unchanged
      C5                  D5            G5
Yes in Dakota one day you will wake up unchained

G5         D5                       E5
Please remember the nights that we spent
      A5            C5
In the city where you lay
      G5                D5  B5
We and young and nearly famous
E5            D5              C5
But thunder cracks and buildings burn
              G5
Everything will change
       C5                  D5            G5
Come on Dakota I know we can always be the same
      C5                  D5            G5
And in Dakota I know we can always be the same
      C5                 D5            G5
Yes in Dakota it's ok to feel a little strange
