Amanda Palmer - In my mind

^FIn my mind In a future five ^Fyears from now I'm 1^G20 pounds And I ^Fnever get hungover Because I^F will be the picture of ^Fdiscipline Never minding what ^Gstate I'm in And be ^Fsomeone I admire And it's ^Gfunny how I imagined that I would ^Fbe that person now But it ^Gdoes not seem to have happened Maybe I've ^Fjust forgotten how, to^G see That I'm not ^Fexactly the person that I thought I'd ^Fbe

And in my^F mind In the faraway ^Fhere and now I've become in contr^Gol somehow And I ^Fnever lose my wallet Because ^FI will be the picture of ^Fdiscipline Never fucking up ^Ganything And I'll be a ^Fgood defensive driver And it's ^Gfunny how I imagined that I would ^Fbe that person now But it ^Gdoes not seem to have happened Maybe I've ^Fjust forgotten how, to^G see That I'll ^Fnever be the person that I thought I'd b^Fe

And in my^F mind When I'm ^Fold, I am beautiful Planting tulips and ^Gvegetables Which I will ^Fmindfully watch over -- Not like me, ^Fnow I'm so busy with ^Feverything That I don't look at ^Ganything But I'm sure I'll^F look when I am older And it's ^Gfunny how I imagine that I could ^Fbe that person now But that's not what I ^Gwant, if that's what I wanted then I'd be ^Fgiving up somehow How strange to ^Gsee ---- that I don't want to ^Fbe the person that I want to b^Fe

And in my ^Fmind I imagine so ^Fmany things Things that aren't really ^Ghappening And when they ^Fput me in the ground, I'll start pounding the ^Flid, Saying "I hav^Fen't finished yet – I still have a ta^Gttoo to get That says 'I'm ^Fliving in the moment'." And it's ^Gfunny how I imagined that I could ^Fwin this winless fight But maybe it ^Gisn't all that funny that I've been ^Ffighting all my life But maybe I ^Ghave to think it's funny if I ^Fwanna live before I die And maybe it's^G funniest of all to think I'll ^Fdie before I actually see C G ----- That I am exactly the person that I want to be
