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
