Intro 
G C D C 


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
