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

[Verse 1]
GC Hope when you take that jump G You don't fear the fall GC Hope when the water rises G You build a wall Em Hope when the crowd screams out C They're screaming your name EmC Hope if everybody runs G You choose to stay
GC Hope that you fall in love G And it hurts so bad GC The only way you can know G Is give it all you have Em And I hope that you don't suffer, C But take the pain EmC Hope when the moment comes
You'll say...
[Chorus]
GCG I, I, I, I did it all, GCG I, I, I, I did it all, Em I owned every second that this world could give C I saw so many places, the things that I did EmC Yeah, with every broken bone G I swear I lived
[Verse 2]
GC Hope that you spend your days G But they all add up GC And when that sun goes down G Hope you raise your cup Em I wish that I could witness C All your joy and all your pain EmC But until my moment comes
I'll say...
[Chorus]
GCG I, I, I, I did it all, GCG I, I, I, I did it all, Em I owned every second that this world could give C I saw so many places, the things that I did EmC Yeah, with every broken bone G I swear I lived
[Bridge]
G Whooooah, G Whooooah Em Whooooah C Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh G with every broken bone
I swear I lived G (stop) Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
GCG I, I, I, I did it all, GCG I, I, I, I did it all, Em I owned every second that this world could give C I saw so many places, the things that I did EmC Yeah, with every broken bone G I swear I lived G Whooooah, G Whooooah, Em Whooooah, C Oh-oh
