In My Mind chords

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                      
Because I will be the picture of 
 C
discipline
                   D
Never minding what state I'm in
       C
And be someone I admire
         D                         
And it's funny how I imagined that 
        C
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                     
That I'm not exactly the person 
                G
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                       
Because I will be the picture of 
 C
discipline
                 D
Never fucking up anything
              C
And I'll be a good defensive driver
         D                         
And it's funny how I imagined that 
        C
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                        
That I'll never be the person that 
               G
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                         
And it's funny how I imagine that I
       C
 could be that person now
                      D       
But that's not what I want, if 
that's what I wanted then I'd be 
 C
giving up somehow
               D                   
How strange to see ---- that I 
          C                        
don't want to be the person that I 
     G
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          
I'll start pounding the lid,  
             C
Saying "I haven't finished yet -
                 D
I still have a tattoo to get
               C
That says 'I'm living in the 
moment'."
         D                         
And it's funny how I imagined that 
        C
I could win this winless fight
             D                   
But maybe it isn't all that funny 
                C
that I've been fighting all my life
            D                      
But maybe I have to think it's 
       C
funny if I wanna live before I die
              D                  
And maybe it's funniest of all to 
            C
think I'll die before I actually see
          C                        
That I am exactly the person that I
          G -----
 want to be
