Amanda Palmer - In My Mind Chords

[Intro]

G C D C


[Verse 1]

D 
In my mind
                 G 
In a future five years from now
     A
I'm 120 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 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
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 f**king 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
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 imagine that I could be that person now
                      A                                         G
But that's not what I want, if that's what I wanted then I'd be giving up somehow
               A                             G                             D
How strange to see 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
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
