1In my mind
                 C5
2In a future five years from now
     D6
3I'm 120 pounds
      C7
4And I never get hungover
         G8                       C9
5Because I will be the picture of discipline
                   D10
6Never minding what state I'm in
       C11
7And be someone I admire
         D12                                 C13
8And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
       D14
9But it does not seem to have happened
           C15                     D16
10Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
             C17                                     G18
11That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be
12
13
         G19
14And in my mind
               C20
15In the faraway here and now
                    D21
16I've become in control somehow
      C22
17And I never lose my wallet
        G23                        C24
18Because I will be the picture of discipline
                 D25
19Never xxxxing up anything
              C26
20And I'll be a good defensive driver
         D27                                 C28
21And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
       D29
22But it does not seem to have happened
           C30                     D31
23Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
          C32                                       G33
24That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be
25
26
         G34
27And in my mind
         C35
28When I'm old, I am beautiful
                    D36
29Planting tulips and vegetables
             C37
30Which I will mindfully watch over --
             G38
31Not like me, now
                 C39
32I'm so busy with everything
                     D40
33That I don't look at anything
                 C41
34But I'm sure I'll look when I am older
         D42                                C43
35And it's funny how I imagine that I could be that person now
                      D44                                         C45
36But that's not what I want, if that's what I wanted then I'd be giving up somehow
               D46                             C47                             G48
37How strange to see ---- that I don't want to be the person that I want to be
38
39
          G49
40And in my mind
             C50
41I imagine so many things
                          D51
42Things that aren't really happening
              C52
43And when they put me in the ground,
                        G53                       C54
44I'll start pounding the lid,  Saying "I haven't finished yet –
                 D55
45I still have a tattoo to get
               C56
46That says 'I'm living in the moment'."
         D57                                 C58
47And it's funny how I imagined that I could win this winless fight
             D59                                   C60
48But maybe it isn't all that funny that I've been fighting all my life
            D61                             C62
49But maybe I have to think it's funny if I wanna live before I die
              D63                              C64
50And maybe it's funniest of all to think I'll die before I actually see
          C65                                  G66
51That I am exactly the person that I want to be
