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
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
E This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us Emaj9 It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust E I've got my heart set on anywhere but here Emaj9 I'm staring down myself, counting up the years C#m Steady hands, just take the wheel... A And every glance is killing me C#mA Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead
[Chorus]
E Stop and stare Emaj9 I think I'm moving but I go nowhere C#m Yeah I know that everyone gets scared A But I've become what I can't be, oh E Stop and stare Emaj9 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 u see what I see
[Verse 2]
E They're tryin to come back, all my senses push Emaj9 Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could... C#m Steady feet, don't fail me now A Gonna run till you can't walk C#m But something pulls my focus out A And I'm standing down...
[Chorus]
E Stop and stare Emaj9 I think I'm moving but I go nowhere C#m Yeah I know that everyone gets scared A But I've become what I can't be, oh E Stop and stare Emaj9 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 u see what I see
[Outro]
E Stop and stare Emaj9 I think I'm moving but I go nowhere C#m Yeah I know that everyone gets scared A But I've become what I can't be E Oh, do u see what I see...
