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

Bridge 1:
Bbm /C Db F7
But I can't confront the doubts I have

E7
I'm condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.
