Counting Stars
One Republic
Dm F
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
C Bb
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Dm F
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
C
Said no more counting dollars
Bb
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
Dm, F, C, Bb (x2)
[Verse 1:]
Dm
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
F
Swing my heart across the line
C
In my face is flashing signs
Bb
Seek it out and ye shall find
[Pre-Chorus:]
Dm
Old, but I'm not that old
F
Young, but I'm not that bold
C
And I don't think the world is sold
Bb
I'm just doing what we're told
Dm F C
I feel something so right
Bb
By doing the wrong thing
Dm F C
And I feel something so wrong
Bb
By doing the right thing
Bb
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Bb (1 strum)
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus:]
Dm F
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
C Bb

Dm F
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
C
Said no more counting dollars
Bb
We'll be counting stars
Dm F
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
C Bb
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Dm F
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
C
Said no more counting dollars
Bb
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 2:]
Dm
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
F
Down this river every turn
C
Hope is our four letter word
Bb
Make that money, Watch it burn
[Pre-Chorus:]
Dm
Old, but I'm not that old
F
Young, but I'm not that bold
C
And I don't think the world is sold
Bb
I'm just doing what we're told
Dm F C
And I feel something so wrong
Bb
By doing the right thing
Bb
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Bb (1 strum)
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus:]
Dm F
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)

Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
