Amanda Palmer – In My Mind (Ukulele)

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

                  D
I'm a hundred and twenty 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 I will 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  C D
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  C D
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 imagined that I could be that person now

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

            C                                D
Then I'd be giving up somehow how strange to see

                     C                            G  C D
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                     D
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

     D
Fuck yes

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