 G  
In my mind
                  C  
In a future five years from now
      D 
I'm 120 pounds
       C 
And I never get hungover
          G                         C 
Because I will be the picture of discipline
                    D 
Never minding what state I'm in
        C 
And be someone I admire
          D                                   C 
And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
        D 
But it does not seem to have happened
            C                       D 
Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
              C                                       G 
That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be
 
 
          G 
And in my mind
                C 
In the faraway here and now
                     D 
I've become in control somehow
       C 
And I never lose my wallet
         G                          C 
Because I will be the picture of discipline
                  D 
Never fucking up anything
               C 
And I'll be a good defensive driver
          D                                   C 
And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
        D 
But it does not seem to have happened
            C                       D 
Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
           C                                         G 
That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be
 
 
          G 
And in my mind
          C 
When I'm old, I am beautiful
                     D 
Planting tulips and vegetables
              C 
Which I will mindfully watch over --
              G 
Not like me, now
                  C 
I'm so busy with everything
                      D 
That I don't look at anything
                  C                
But I'm sure I'll look when I am older
          D                                  C 
And it's funny how I imagine that I could be that person now
                       D                                           C 
But that's not what I want, if that's what I wanted then I'd be giving up somehow
                D                               C                               G 
How strange to see ---- that I don't want to be the person that I want to be
 
 
           G 
And in my mind
              C 
I imagine so many things
                           D 
Things that aren't really happening
               C                                                                       
And when they put me in the ground, 
                         G                         C 
I'll start pounding the lid,  Saying "I haven't finished yet –
                  D 
I still have a tattoo to get
                C 
That says 'I'm living in the moment'."
          D                                   C 
And it's funny how I imagined that I could win this winless fight
              D                                     C 
But maybe it isn't all that funny that I've been fighting all my life
             D                               C 
But maybe I have to think it's funny if I wanna live before I die
               D                                C 
And maybe it's funniest of all to think I'll die before I actually see
           C                                    G 
That I am exactly the person that I want to be
