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

And I know life is getting shorter

F g c d7

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

All those minutes and days and hours dm
