[Verse 1]
FI saw your boyfriend yesterday
He looked at me with the same face
CFeels like I'm seventeen again
EI guess not much has even changed
FSince we were back in high school, talking every day
Does he still Gtell you I'll be sorry
If I GevGer Geven look your way?
[Chorus]
FHey, Dakota, you can Cpiss right off!
You'll keep your haAmnds to yourself and
ReGmove my name from your mouth
FHey, Dakota, why are Cyou so scared?
Because we both kAmnow that you hate me so
Why Gdon't you tell someone who cares?
[Verse 2]
FHow do you stand back and take it?
The cheating, lies, and the abuse
CLike a punching bag, you won't fight back
E(Tell me, what's your best excuse?)
F"Wipe those tears away", so many times I told her
CBut I'm here to hold your hand
EWhile you're crying on my shoulder
FI've lost all faith in this because he's never changing
GI tried to tell you girl, GbuGt Gyou never listened
[Chorus]
FHey, Dakota, you can Cpiss right off!
You'll keep your haAmnds to yourself and
ReGmove my name from your mouth
FHey, Dakota, why are Cyou so scared?
Because we both kAmnow that you hate me so
Why Gdon't you tell someone who cares?
[Bridge]
FYou'd be betCter off on your owAmn
I think you Gknow (I think you know...)
FYou'd be beCtter off on your Amown
GI think you know (I'll say it again...)
[Chorus]
FHey, Dakota, you can Cpiss right off!
You'll keep your haAmnds to yourself and

[Verse 1]

I saw your boyfriend yesterday

He looked at me with the same face

Feels like I'm seventeen again

I guess not much has even changed

Since we were back in high school, talking every day

Does he still tell you I'll be sorry

G G G

If I ever even look your way?

[Chorus]

F C

Hey, Dakota, you can piss right off!

You'll keep your hands to yourself and

Remove my name from your mouth

F C

Hey, Dakota, why are you so scared?

Because we both know that you hate me so

Why don't you tell someone who cares?

[Verse 2]

How do you stand back and take it?

The cheating, lies, and the abuse

Like a punching bag, you won't fight back

(Tell me, what's your best excuse?)

"Wipe those tears away", so many times I told her

But I'm here to hold your hand

While you're crying on my shoulder

I've lost all faith in this because he's never changing

G G G G

I tried to tell you girl, but you never listened

[Chorus]

F C

Hey, Dakota, you can piss right off!

You'll keep your hands to yourself and

Remove my name from your mouth

Hey, Dakota, why are you so scared?

Because we both know that you hate me so

Why don't you tell someone who cares?

[Bridge]

You'd be better off on your own

I think you know (I think you know...)

F C Am

You'd be better off on your own

I think you know (I'll say it again...)

[Chorus]

F C

Hey, Dakota, you can piss right off!

You'll keep your hands to yourself and

Remove my name from your mouth

Hey, Dakota, why are you so scared?

Because we both know that you hate me so

Why don't you tell someone who cares?

[Outro]
