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

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

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

We and young and nearly famous

But thunder cracks and buildings burn

Come on Dakota I know we can always be the same
	C/G			D		G
And in Dakota I know we can always be the same
	C/G                 D		G
Yes in Dakota it's ok to feel a little strange
