The song, according to SoundScan Data, is one of only two songs that have reached 3 million legal downloads in history.

[Chorus]
AmC Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AmC But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard, G Sitting, no more counting dollars FF We'll be counting stars, 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 And my face is flashing signs F Seek it out and you shall find Am Oh, but I'm not that old C Young, but I'm not that bold G I don't think the world is sold F I'm just doing what we're told
AmCG I feel something so right F Doing the wrong thing AmCG I feel something so wrong F 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've been, I've been losing sleep GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AmC But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard, G Sitting, no more counting dollars F We'll be counting stars
AmC Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AmC But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard, G Sitting, no more counting dollars F We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Repeat For the next verse
Am I feel the love and I feel it burn C Down this river, every turn G Hope is a four-letter word F Make that money, watch it burn Am Oh, but I'm not that old C Young, but I'm not that bold G I don't think the world is sold F I'm just doing what we're told AmCG I feel something so wrong F Doing the right thing F I could lie, could lie, could lie F (1 strum) Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus]
AmC Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AmC But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard, G Sitting, no more counting dollars F We'll be counting stars
AmC Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep GF Dreaming about the things that we could be AmC But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard, G Sitting, no more counting dollars F We'll be, we'll be counting stars
