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

E This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us. G#m/B It's time to make our move. I'm shakin' off the rust. E I've got my heart set on anywhere but here. G#m/BC#m I'm starin' down myself, counting up the years. A Steady hands, just take the wheel. C#m Every glance is killing me. A Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead.
------------ CHORUS:
E Stop and stare. Bsus I think I'm movin', but I go nowhere. C#m Yeah I know that ev'ryone gets scared, A but I've become what I can't be. Oh, E Stop and stare. Bsus You start to wonder why you're here, not there. C#m And you'd give anything to get what's fair, A but fair ain't what you really need. E Oh, can you see what I see?
------------ VERSE2:
E They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push. G#m/BC#m Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could. A Steady feet, don't fail me now. C#m I will run 'til you can't walk. A Something' pulls my focus out
and I'm standin' down.
------------ CHORUS:
E Stop and stare. Bsus I think I'm movin', but I go nowhere. C#m Yeah I know that ev'ryone gets scared, A but I've become what I can't be. Oh, E Stop and stare.
