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!
So this is kind of my first tab so I hope i got everything right Though I usually don't like Onerepublic I've noticed that this version sounds much better then the other one with AmGC and F This one is trickier but sounds way better Enjoy!
1st verse
GmF Just paint the picture of a perfect place BbCm They've got it better than what anyone's told you GmF they'll be the King of Hearts and you're the Queen of Spades BbCm And we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers GmF I know we've got it good But they've got it made BbCm And the grass is getting greener each day GmF I know things are looking up But soon they'll take us down BbCm before anybody's knowing our name
Chorus
GmF They've got all the right friends in all the right places BbCm So yeah we're going down GmF We've got all the right moves and all the wrong faces BbCm So yeah we're going down GmFBb They said everybody knows everybody knows where we're going Cm Yeah we're going down GmFBb They said everybody knows everybody knows where we're going Cm Yeah we're going down
As you've noticed the chords are the whole time the same so here's the second verse
Do you think I'm special Do you think I'm nice Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces Between the noise you hear And the sound you like Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces
It can be possible that rain can fall Only when it's over our heads The sun is shining everyday but it's far away All the world is dead
CHORUS
Sometimes when I'm into that song I play after the Cm a short Am7 and then jump straight to the Gm
