Amanda Palmer – In My Mind (Guitar)

      D 
[tab]                 G 
In a future five years from now

                  A
I'm a hundred and twenty pounds

      G
And I never get hungover

        D                        G
Because I will be the picture of discipline

                   A
Never minding what state I'm in

              G
And I will be someone I admire

         A                                 G
And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now

            A
But it does not seem to have happened

           G                     A
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see

              G                                    D  G A
That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be

          D
And in my mind

               G
In the faraway here and now

                   A
I've become in control somehow

      G
And I never lose my wallet

        D                        G
Because I will be the picture of discipline

                 A
Never fucking up anything

              G
And I'll be a good defensive driver

         A                                 G
And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now

            A
But it does not seem to have happened

           G                     A
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see

                G                                D  G A
That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be

          D
And in my mind

                   G
When I'm old, I am beautiful

                    A
Planting tulips and vegetables

             G
Which I will mindfully watch over

            D
Not like me now

                 G
I'm so busy with everything

                     A
That I don't look at anything

                  G               
But I'm sure I'll look when I am older

         A                                 G
And it's funny how I imagined that I could be that person now

                      A
But that's not what I want if that's what I wanted 

            G                                A
Then I'd be giving up somehow how strange to see

                     G                            D  G A
That I don't want to be the person that I want to be

          D
And in my mind

             G
I imagine so many things

                          A
Things that aren't really happening

              G                                                                      
And when they put me in the ground

                        D                      G
I'll start pounding the lid, saying: I haven't finished yet

                 A
I still have a tattoo to get

               G
That says: I'm living in the moment

         A                                 G
And it's funny how I imagined that I could win this winless fight

             A                                   G
But maybe it isn't all that funny that I've been fighting all my life

            A                                   G
But maybe I have to think it's funny if I wanna live before I die

               A                             G                     A
And maybe it's funniest of all to think I'll die before I actually see

           G                                D
That I am exactly the person that I want to be

     A
Fuck yes

      G                                D
I am exactly the person that I want to be
