NOTES:
The INTRO sequence is also played as part of the VERSEs.


INTRO:
Notes:
The first two measures are all variants of Am that are driven by the
descending bass-line. If you are two guitars, one could just play Am, while
the other plays the bass-line however, if you're a solo acoustic guitar,
you'll need to add bass-notes to get it to sound right.

Am/9 is Amadd9 and has B in the bass.

The Am/C plays C in the bass. You don't actually need the C on the 2nd string
as the first 2 strings are never really sounded. But it's up to you.

Lots of chords but when you find the groove, you're laughing.
This has to SWING, man!

Am/9  x2x21x    F   x33211    C  x32010
Am/C  x3221x    E7  020130    D7 xx0212

Am  Am/9         Am/C                    Dm       Dm7          F           E7
Oh,      for the sake of momentum I've allowed my fears to get larger than life

         Am      Am/9      Am/C
And it's brought me  to my current agendum
      Dm            Dm7          F        E7
whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive

    F      G       C       D7
And I know life is getting shorter
F         G               C       D7
  I can't bring myself to set the scene
F    G           C         D7       F          G     C
Even when it's approaching torture,   I've got my routine


VERSE:

Dm    xx0231    G   320003    

Am  Am/9         Am/C
Oh,      for the sake of momentum
     Dm        Dm7                        F      E7
Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day

      Am   Am/9             Am/C
But I hate      to think of effort expended
          Dm                   Dm7          F          E7
All those minutes and days and hours I have frittered away.

    F      G       C       D7
And I know life is getting shorter
F         G               C       D7
  I can't bring myself to set the scene
F    G          C          D7
Even when it's approaching torture
F          G   | F Am7 Dm C |
  I've got my routine


CHORUS:
Chords:
Bbm x13321    Am/9 x2x21x
Cm  x35543    Am/C x3221x
Db  x46664    E7   020100
Am  x0221x    

      Bbm   Cm              Db
But I can't    confront the doubts I have
Bbm         Cm                 Db
  I can't admit that maybe the past was bad

    Am  Am/9         Am/C
And so,      for the sake of momentum
       E7
I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past
