Intro:

Am	::|

||:	am dm	e7 :||

Verse 1:

Am (/b)   c(6)
Oh,  for the sake of momentum
Dm		    f	  e7
I’ve allowed my fears to get larger than life
Am	(/b)	  c6
And it’s brought me to my current agendum
Dm			  f	   e7
Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive

Chorus:

F	  g	  c	  dm7
And I know life is getting shorter
F	g		c	d7
I can’t bring myself to set the scene
F  g		 c	  dm7
Even when it’s approaching torture
F	 g	f -- c/e -- dm7 -- c
I’ve got my routine

Verse 2:

Oh, for the sake of momentum				   am /b  c6
Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day  dm    f  e7
But I hate to think of effort expended			 am /b  c6
All those minutes and days and hours			 dm
I have frittered away.						 f  e7

Chorus

And I know life is getting shorter 			 f  g  c dm7
I can’t bring myself to set the scene 		    f  g	c d7
Even when it’s approaching torture			  f  g  c dm7
I’ve got my routine						f  g f c/e dm7 c

Bridge 1:

Bbm	/c		  db	  f7
But I  can’t confront the doubts I have
Bbm	 /c		   db    f7
I can’t admit that maybe the past was bad
Am /b    c6	 c6/d
And so, for the sake of momentum
E7
I’m condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.

F g c dm7	f g f c/e dm7 c

Bridge 2:

When I can’t confront the doubts I have	    bbm /c	 db	 f7
I can’t admit that maybe the past was bad		 bbm /c  db	  f7
And so, for the sake of momentum			 am  /b  c6   c6/d
I’m condemning the future to death		   e7
So it can match the past.				    am /b c6 dm
