Amanda Palmer - In my mind

In my ^Dmind In a future five ^Gyears from now I'm a hundred and ^Atwenty pounds And I ^Gnever get hungover Because ^DI will be the picture of ^Gdiscipline Never minding what ^Astate I'm in And I will be ^Gsomeone I admire And it's ^Afunny how I imagined that I would ^Gbe that person now But it does ^Anot seem to have happened Maybe I've ^Gjust forgotten how to ^Asee That I'm not e^Gxactly the person that I thought I'd ^Dbe ^{G A}

And in my ^Dmind In the faraway ^Ghere and now I've become in cont^Arol somehow And I ^Gnever lose my wallet Because ^DI will be the picture of ^Gdiscipline Never fucking up ^Aanything And I'll be a ^Ggood defensive driver And it's ^Afunny how I imagined that I would ^Gbe that person now But it does ^Anot seem to have happened Maybe I've ^Gjust forgotten how to ^Asee That I'll never ^Gbe the person that I thought I'd ^Dbe ^{G A}

And in my ^Dmind When I'm old, I am ^Gbeautiful Planting tulips and ^Avegetables Which I will ^Gmindfully watch over Not like me ^Dnow I'm so busy with ^Geverything That I don't look at ^Aanything But I'm sure I'll ^Glook when I am older And it's ^Afunny how I imagined that I could ^Gbe that person now But that's not what I ^Awant if that's what I wanted Then I'd be ^Ggiving up somehow how strange to ^Asee That I don't want to ^Gbe the person that I want to ^Dbe ^{G A}

And in my ^Dmind I imagine so ^Gmany things Things that aren't really ^Ahappening And when they ^Gput me in the ground I'll start pounding the ^Dlid, saying: I haven't ^Gfinished yet I still have a ta^Attoo to get That says: I'm ^Gliving in the moment And it's ^Afunny how I imagined that I could ^Gwin this winless fight But maybe it ^Aisn't all that funny that I've been ^Gfighting all my life But maybe I ^Ahave to think it's funny if I wanna ^Glive before I die And maybe it's ^Afunniest of all to think I'll ^Gdie before I actually ^Asee That I am e^Gxactly the person that I want to ^Dbe G

Fuck ^Ayes I am e^Gxactly the person that I want to ^Dbe
