Dakota

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

        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
