Intro
G C D C

G (320003@1)In my mind
                 C (x32010@1)In a future five years from now
     DI'm (xx0232@1)120 pounds
      CAnd (x32010@1)I never get hungover
         G (320003@1)                     CBecause (x32010@1)I will be the picture of discipline
                   DNever (xx0232@1)minding what state I'm in
       CAnd (x32010@1)be someone I admire
         D (xx0232@1)                               CAnd (x32010@1)it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
       DBut (xx0232@1)it does not seem to have happened
           C (x32010@1)                   DMaybe (xx0232@1)I've just forgotten how, to see
             C (x32010@1)                                   GThat (320003@1)I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be

GAnd (320003@1)in my mind
               CIn (x32010@1)the faraway here and now
                    DI've (xx0232@1)become in control somehow
      CAnd (x32010@1)I never lose my wallet
        G (320003@1)                      CBecause (x32010@1)I will be the picture of discipline
                 DNever (xx0232@1)fucking up anything
              CAnd (x32010@1)I'll be a good defensive driver
         D (xx0232@1)                               CAnd (x32010@1)it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
       DBut (xx0232@1)it does not seem to have happened
           C (x32010@1)                   DMaybe (xx0232@1)I've just forgotten how, to see
          C (x32010@1)                                     GThat (320003@1)I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be

GAnd (320003@1)in my mind
         CWhen (x32010@1)I'm old, I am beautiful
                    DPlanting (xx0232@1)tulips and vegetables
             CWhich (x32010@1)I will mindfully watch over --
             GNot (320003@1)like me, now
                 CI'm (x32010@1)so busy with everything
                     DThat (xx0232@1)I don't look at anything
                 C (x32010@1)             
But I'm sure I'll look when I am older
         D (xx0232@1)                              CAnd (x32010@1)it's funny how I imagine that I could be that person now
                      D (xx0232@1)                                       CBut (x32010@1)that's not what I want, if that's what I wanted then I'd be giving up somehow
               D (xx0232@1)                           C (x32010@1)                           GHow (320003@1)strange to see ---- that I don't want to be the person that I want to be

GAnd (320003@1)in my mind
             CI (x32010@1)imagine so many things
                          DThings (xx0232@1)that aren't really happening
              C (x32010@1)                                                                    
And when they put me in the ground, 
                        G (320003@1)                     CI'll (x32010@1)start pounding the lid,  Saying "I haven't finished yet -
                 DI (xx0232@1)still have a tattoo to get
               CThat (x32010@1)says 'I'm living in the moment'."
         D (xx0232@1)                               CAnd (x32010@1)it's funny how I imagined that I could win this winless fight
             D (xx0232@1)                                 CBut (x32010@1)maybe it isn't all that funny that I've been fighting all my life
            D (xx0232@1)                           CBut (x32010@1)maybe I have to think it's funny if I wanna live before I die
              D (xx0232@1)                            CAnd (x32010@1)maybe it's funniest of all to think I'll die before I actually see
          C (x32010@1)                                G----- (320003@1)That I am exactly the person that I want to be
