In my mind By Amanda Palmer



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
