||: 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.

Instrumental chorus: f g c dm7 f g c d7 

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
