In My Mind Uke tab by Amanda Palmer

G

 
In my mind
                 C

 
In a future five years from now
     D


I'm 120 pounds
      C

And I never get hungover
         G

                       C


Because I will be the picture of discipline
                   D


Never minding what state I'm in
       C


And be someone I admire
         D

                                 C


And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
       D


But it does not seem to have happened
           C

                     D


Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
             C

                                     G


That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be
 
 
         G


And in my mind
               C


In the faraway here and now
                    D


I've become in control somehow
      C


And I never lose my wallet
        G

                        C


Because I will be the picture of discipline
                 D


Never xxxxing up anything
              C


And I'll be a good defensive driver
         D

                                 C


And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
       D


But it does not seem to have happened
           C

                     D


Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
          C

                                       G


That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be
 
 
         G


And in my mind
         C


When I'm old, I am beautiful
                    D


Planting tulips and vegetables
             C


Which I will mindfully watch over --
             G


Not like me, now
                 C


I'm so busy with everything
                     D


That I don't look at anything
                 C
C chord
               
But I'm sure I'll look when I am older
         D

                                C


And it's funny how I imagine that I could be that person now
                      D

                                         C


But that's not what I want, if that's what I wanted then I'd be giving up somehow
               D

                             C

                             G


How strange to see ---- that I don't want to be the person that I want to be
 
 
          G


And in my mind
             C


I imagine so many things
                          D


Things that aren't really happening
              C

                                                                      
And when they put me in the ground, 
                        G

                       C


I'll start pounding the lid,  Saying "I haven't finished yet -
                 D
D chord

I still have a tattoo to get
               C
C chord

That says 'I'm living in the moment'."
         D
D chord
                                 C
C chord

And it's funny how I imagined that I could win this winless fight
             D
D chord
                                   C
C chord

But maybe it isn't all that funny that I've been fighting all my life
            D
D chord
                             C
C chord

But maybe I have to think it's funny if I wanna live before I die
              D
D chord
                              C
C chord

And maybe it's funniest of all to think I'll die before I actually see
          C
C chord
                                  G
G chord

That I am exactly the person that I want to be
