              Am Asus2 Am   Am7 Am6 Am 
 
Am Am/B Am/C Am/G#  Dm Dm7 F E7 
 
Am     Am/B Am/C   Am/G#      Dm         Dm7               F           E7 
Oh, for the sake of momentum I've allowed my fears to get larger than life 
And it's brought me to my current agendum whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive 
 
F          G        C         D7 
And I know life is getting shorter 
I can't bring myself to set the scene 
Even when it's approaching torture 
F         G     F Am/E Dm C 
I've got my routine 
 
Am     Am/B  Am/C   Am/G#    Dm           Dm7                  F      E7   
Oh, for the sake of momentum even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day 
But I hate to think of effort expended all those minutes and days and hours 
I have frittered away. 
 
F          G        C      D7 
And I know life is getting shorter 
I can't bring myself to set the scene 
Even when it's approaching torture 
F         G   F Am/E Dm C 
I've got my routine 
 
      Bbm      Cm         Db          Ab 
But I can't confront the doubts I have 
I can't admit that maybe the past was bad 
   Am      Am/B             Am/C    D7 
And so, for the sake of momentum 
E7 
I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past 
 
Am Am/B Am/C Am/G# Dm Dm7 F E7 2x 
F G C D7 3x 
F G  F Am Dm C 
 
 
Bbm           Cm          Db         F7 
But I can't confront the doubts I have 
I can't admit that maybe the past was bad 
    Am      Am/B           Am/C    D7 
And so, for the sake of momentum 
E7 
I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past 
 
Am Am/B Am/C D7 E7 (E F# G#) Am  Am9
