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
