G         D                       Em
Please remember the nights that we spent
      Am            C
In the city where you lay
       G                D  Bm
We were young and nearly famous
Em            D                  C
But lightning strikes and buildings fall
                    G
And everything did change
      C                      D                  G
Come on Dakota tell me you don't wish I was still the same

G       D               Em
I know a man dressed as a woman
      Am            C
Heels, curly wig, and nails
          G                         D  Bm
Fell for a boy who sold him powder and pills
Em
And the younger boy
D
With the older man
C              G
He made it all wrong
      C                  D                 G
And in Dakota these awful things burn away with the sun
      C                  D                  G
Yes in Dakota these awful things are gone with morning sun

G           D                         Em
There was a boy who sang his song just different
       Am               C
So they stabbed him in the arms
            G            D  Bm
Blood washed down him like a faucet
Em
He cried for help
D
And no one came
C            G
He died in the rain
      C                  D            G
And in Dakota one day he will wake up unchanged
      C                  D            G
Yes in Dakota one day you will wake up unchained

Please remember the nights that we spent
      Am            C
In the city where you lay
      G                D  Bm
We and young and nearly famous
Em            D              C
But thunder cracks and buildings burn
              G
Everything will change
       C                  D            G
Come on Dakota I know we can always be the same
      C                  D            G
And in Dakota I know we can always be the same
      C                 D            G
Yes in Dakota it's ok to feel a little strange
