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

"Counting Stars"
[Chorus] EmGDC Lately I been, I been losing sleep EmGDC Dreaming about the things that we could be EmGDC But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard EmGD Said no more counting dollars C We'll be counting stars * strum c once* Yeah, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 1] Em I see this life G Like a swinging vine DC Swing my heart across the line EmG In my face is flashing signs DC Seek it out and ye shall find
EmG Old, but I'm not that old DC Young, but I'm not that bold EmG And I don't think the world is sold DC I'm just doing what we're told
EmG I feel something so right DC By doing the wrong thing EmG And I feel something so wrong DC By doing the right thing EmGDCEmG I could lie, could lie, could lie DCEmGDCEmG Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
[Verse 2] EmG I feel the love DC And I feel it burn EmGDC Down this river every turn EmG Hope is our four letter word EmG Make that money DC Watch it burn
EmGDC Old, but I'm not that old EmGDC Young, but I'm not that bold EmGDC And I don't think the world is sold EmGDC I'm just doing what we're told
EmG And I feel something so wrong DC By doing the right thing EmGDCEmG I could lie, could lie, could lie DCEmGDCEmG Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh.
[Bridge 4x:] Em Take that money G Watch it burn D Sing in the river C The lessons I learned
DCEmGDCEmG Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
[Outro 4x:] Em Take that money G Watch it burn D Sing in the river C The lessons I learned
