[Verse 1]
D
In my mind
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
G
[Outro]
A
Fuck yes
G D
I am exactly the person that I want to be
