OneRepublic is an American, self-proclaimed "genreless", band formed in Colorado Springs in 2002 by Ryan Tedder and Zach Filkins. After a few years of moderate success, they have since drawn mainstream attention with the release of their single "Apologize," which has sold in excess of 7 million singles worldwide. The song, according to SoundScan Data, is one of only two songs that have reached 3 million legal downloads in history. A remix of "Apologize" was featured on Timbaland's Shock Value and the band's debut album
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
[Verse 1] F These days my waves get lost in the oceans BbDm Seven billion swimmers, man I'm going through the motions F Sent up a flare, I need love and devotion BbDm Traded for some faces that I never know, notion F Maybe I should try to find the old me BbDm Take me to the places and the people that know me F Tryin' to disconnect, thinking maybe you could show me BbDm If there's so many people here, then why am I so lonely?
[Chorus] F Can I get a connection? BbDm Can I get, can I get a connection? F Can I get a connection? BbDm Can I get, can I get a connection?
[Verse 2] F Real friends, good friends are hard to find, let's face it BbDm Buy the perfect home and there's a flood in the basement F Made a couple dollars now and I ain't tryin' to chase it BbDm Kids from Oklahoma, man we don't waste it F I'm just tryin' to paint the picture for me BbDm Something I could give a damn about at maybe 40 F Years and I be ready and willing and able to edit the story BbDm Cause there's so many people here to be so damn lonely
[Chorus] F Can I get a connection? BbDm Can I get, can I get a connection? F Can I get a connection? BbDm Can I get, can I get a connection? FBbDm I can see it in my, see it in my reflection F Oh, can I get a connection? BbDm Can I get, can I get a connection?
[Bridge] F Right now, right now, I'm switching to a new lane BbDm Foot to the floor, man searching for the real thing F Meet somebody else, sometimes ain't no shame BbDm Head to the clouds sayin'
[Chorus] F It's like can I get a connection? BbDm Can I get, can I get a connection? F Can I get a connection? BbDm Can I get, can I get a connection? FBbDm I can see it in my, see it in my reflection F Oh, can I get a connection? BbDmFBb Can I get, can I get a connection?
