Standard (EADGBE)

Please remember the nights that we spent

In the city where you lay

We were young and nearly famous

But lightning strikes and buildings fall

And everything did change

Come on Dakota tell me you don't wish I was still the same

I know a man dressed as a woman

Heels, curly wig, and nails

Fell for a boy who sold him powder and pills

And the younger boy

With the older man

He made it all wrong

And in Dakota these awful things burn away with the sun

Yes in Dakota these awful things are gone with morning sun

There was a boy who sang his song just different

So they stabbed him in the arms

Blood washed down him like a faucet

He cried for help

And no one came

He died in the rain

And in Dakota one day he will wake up unchanged

Yes in Dakota one day you will wake up unchained

Please remember the nights that we spent

In the city where you lay

We and young and nearly famous

But thunder cracks and buildings burn

Everything will change

Come on Dakota I know we can always be the same

And in Dakota I know we can always be the same

Yes in Dakota it's ok to feel a little strange
