Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
In [G]my mind
In a future five [C]years from now
I'm a hundred and [D]twenty pounds
And I [C]never get hung over
Because [G]I will be the picture of d[C]iscipline
Never minding what [D]state I'm in
And I will be [C]someone I admire

[Chorus 1]
And it's [D]funny how I imagined
That I would [C]be that person now
But it does [D]not seem to have happened
Maybe I've [C]just forgotten how to [D]see
That I am not ex[C]actly the person
that I thought [G]I'd [C]be[D]

[Verse 2]
And in [G]my mind
In the faraway [C]here and now
I've become in con[D]trol somehow
And I [C]never lose my wallet
Because [G]I will be the picture of d[C]iscipline
Never fucking up [D]anything
And I'll be a [C]good defensive driver

[Chorus 2]
And it's [D]funny how I imagined
That I would [C]be that person now
But it does [D]not seem to have happened
Maybe I've [C]just forgotten how to [D]see
That I'll never [C]be the person
that I thought [G]I'd [C]be[D]

[Verse 3]
And in [G]my mind
When I'm old I am [C]beautiful
Planting tulips and [D]vegetables
Which I will [C]mindfully watch over
Not like me [G]now
I'm so busy with [C]everything
That I don't look at [D]anything
But I'm sure I'll [C]look when I am older

[Chorus 3]
And it's [D]funny how I imagined
That I could [C]be that person now
But that's not what I [D]want
But that's what I wanted
And I'd be [C]giving up somehow
How strange [D]to see
That I don't wanna [C]be the person
that I want to [G]be[C][D]

[Verse 4]
And in [G]my mind
I imagine so [C]many things
Things that aren't really [D]happening
And when they [C]put me in the ground
I'll start pounding the [G]lid
Saying I haven't [C]finished yet
I still have a tat[D]too to get
That says I'm [C]living in the moment

[Chorus 4]
And it's [D]funny how I imagined
That I could [C]win this, win this fight
But maybe it [D]isn't all that funny
That I've been [C]fighting all my life
But maybe I [D]have to think it's funny
If I wanna [C]live before I die
And maybe it's [D]funniest of all
To think I'll [C]die before I actually [D]see
That I am ex[C]actly the person that I want to be

[Outro 1]
[G]Fuc[C]k yes[D]
I am ex[C]actly the person that I want to [G]be
