Song: CountingStars
By: OneRepublic
[Intro:]
[verse: 1] {acoustic guitar}
C#m E
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
B A
Dreaming about the things, that we could be
C#m E
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
B A
Sitting no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
A | {rest 1 measure}
Yeah we'll be counting stars
2 X [ C#m E B A ] {band kicks in}
[verse: 2]
C#m
I see this life, like a swinging vine
E
Swing my heart across the line
B
In my face is flashing signs
A
Seek it out and ye shall find
C#m
Oh but I'm not that old
E
Young but I'm not that bold
B
I don't think the world is sold
A
I'm just doing what we're told
[bridge:]
C#m E B
I_____________I feel something so right
A
Doing the wrong thing
