Verse 1
C             Am 
Hey, hometown amnesia 
F                      C 
Remind me where you’ve been 
    Am      Am/F# 
And help me remember 
F         G 
Who I was before I knew you 
 
C          Am 
Disengage, disengage 
    F                C 
You know I’m falling fast 
     Am              Am/F# 
This plane is losing altitude 
     F                        G 
On a collision course for the sea 
 
   C       Am 
So help me understand 
        F              C 
Help me understand the time 
    Am            Am/F# 
And let me live a moment longer 
F              G 
In that little time cocoon 
 
       C        Am 
It’s a minor miracle 
        F                   C 
It’s an invention without a future 
Am                 Am/F# 
Everything foreign has a home 
    F                      G 
And everything close has a destination 
 
Chorus
    C                Am 
I’m dreaming in your language, 
           F            C 
I’m losing sleep to the lexicon of time 
     C            Am 
It’s a colloquial nightmare 
    F            C       G 
And you know nativity is blind 
 
Verse 2
    C                Am 
I’m in a court room, bearing witness 
     F           C 
To a crime never committed 
       Am       Am/F# 
It’s a juvenile offender 
     F       G 
With no capacity for change 
 
  C                Am 
I wish this wasn’t so familiar 
     F            C 
I’ve been here so many times 
    Am                 Am/F# 
And since I walked out of that door 
    F                 G 
The ball is out of my court 
 
   C         Am 
So let me be present 
           F             C 
And let me cross that temporal border 
       Am                 Am/F# 
It’s a look I’m trying to remember 
      F              G 
And a deficiency I’m trying to ignore 
 
         C              Am 
You’re a quaint seaside town 
     F          C 
In a hedonistic holy war 
         Am       Am/F# 
You’re a hospital chapel 
      F       G 
I’m a useless metaphor 
 
Chorus
    C                Am 
I’m dreaming in your language 
           F            C 
I’m losing sleep to the lexicon of time 
     C              Am 
I’ve been out of my head for awhile 
F                 C          G 
Illegally parked, collecting fines

Verse 3
    C            Am 
I’m walking in a burning bar 
F              C 
With a phantom wingman 
    Am          Am/F# 
The angel on my shoulder 
F                G 
Speaking satanic codes 
 
        C                   Am 
I don’t want to make you an afterthought 
        F                  C 
I don’t want to make you a priority 
         Am               Am/F# 
I’m just trying to make a good impression 
F            G 
At least for now 
 
Bridge - repeats many times
C 
Everything dies 
Am 
Everything lies 
F 
Everything cries 
C 
Everything rhymes 
 
Chorus
    C                Am 
I’m dreaming in your language, 
           F            C 
I’m losing sleep to the lexicon of time 
    C                Am 
I’m dreaming in your language 
      F             C           G 
And I don’t want to change your mind 
 
    C                Am 
I’m dreaming in your language 
           F            C 
I’m losing sleep to the lexicon of time 
    C                Am 
I’m dreaming in your language 
      F           C         G 
And I want you to change my mind
