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 xxxxing 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
