In My Mind
Amanda Palmer
In my D mind, in a future five G years from now,
3 5 5 5 4 3 3 5 4 3 1
I don't bite my nails A anymore, and I G never binge watch TV
5 4 3 3 5 4 3 1 5. 5. 5. 3 4 3 2 1
Because D I, will be the picture of G discipline,
5 5 5 4 3 3 5 4 3 1
Never minding what A state I'm in, and I will be G someone I admire.
5 4 3 3 5 4 3 1 5. 5. 5. 3 4 3 2 1
And it's A funny how I imagined that I would G be that person now.
3 5---5 4 5 4 3 1
But it does A not seem to have happened
5---5
Maybe I've G just forgotten how, to A see
5 5 5 4 5 4 3 1 5 5
That I'm not ex-G-actly the person that I thought I'd D be G A
5 5 5 4---4 3 1
And in my D mind, In the faraway G here and now
I've become in A control somehow, and I G never lose my kindle
Because D I, will be the picture of G discipline,
Never fucking up A anything, and I'll be a G good defensive driver.
And it's A funny how I imagined that I would G be that person now.
But it A does not seem to have happened
Maybe I've G just forgotten how, to A see
That I'll G never be the person that I thought I'd D be. G A
And in my D mind, when I'm old, I'm non-G-judgemental.
I am loved and at A ease in the world,
As I G mindfully watch over --
Not like me D now, I'm so anxious 'bout G everything,
That I don't look at A anything. But I'm sure I'll G look when I am older.
And it's A funny how I imagine that I could G be that person now.
But that's not what I A want if that's what I wanted then I'd be G living that way now.
How strange to A see, that I don't G want to be the person that I want to D be. G A
And in my D mind. I imagine so G many things,
Things that aren't really A happening,
And when they G put me in the ground
I'll start pounding the D lid, saying "I haven't G finished yet,
I still have a A tattoo to get,
That says 'I'm G living in the moment."
And it's A funny how I imagined that I could G win this winless fight.
But maybe it A isn't all that funny that I've been G fighting all my life.
But maybe I A have to think it's funny if I wanna G live before I die.
And maybe it's A funniest of all to think, I'll G die before I actually A see,
That I am G exactly the person that I want, to D be. G Fuck A yes.
I am G exactly the person that I want to D be.
