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

[Chorus] AMC Lately I been, I been losing sleep GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AMC But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard G Said no more counting dollars F We'll be counting stars F (ONE STRUM ) Yeah, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 1] AM I see this life
Like a swinging vine C Swing my heart across the line G In my face is flashing signs F Seek it out and ye shall find AM Old, but I'm not that old C Young, but I'm not that bold G And I don't think the world is sold F I'm just doing what we're told AMCG I Feel something so right F By doing the wrong thing AMCG And I feel something so wrong F By doing the right thing F I could lie, could lie, could lie F ( 1 STRUM ) Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus] AMC Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AMC But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) G Said no more counting dollars F We'll be counting stars AMC Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AMC But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) G Said no more counting dollars F We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 2] I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus] ( REPEAT THE STRUMMING PATTERN ) Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Oh, oh, oh.
[Bridge 4x:] AM ( 1 STRUM ) Take that money C ( 1 STRUM ) Watch it burn G ( 1 STRUM ) Sing in the river F ( 1 STRUM ) The lessons I learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus] ( REPEAT THE STRUMMING PATTERN ) Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Outro 4x:] ( REPEAT THE STRUMMING PATTERN )Take that money
Watch it burn Sing in the river The lessons I learned
