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
Fgcd7
I can't bring myself to set the scene
F g c dm7
Even when it's approaching torture
F gf -- 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

Bridge 1:

Bbm/c db f7
But I can't confront the doubts I have
Bbm /c db f7

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