|C#m               |E                     |B                               |A          |
 Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep,  dreaming about the things that we could be
   |C#m             |E                     |
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
|B                                 |A                      |A                   |A         |
   Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars”, yeah, we'll be counting stars

|C#m    |E     |B     |A     |
|C#m    |E     |B     |A     |

          |C#m                        |E                             |
I see this life, like a swinging vine, swing my heart across the line
|B                               |A                              |
 And in my face is flashing signs,  seek it out and ye shall find
|C#m                       |E                           |
 Old, but I'm not that old, young, but I'm not that bold
   |B                              |A                              |
And I don't think the world is sold,  on just doing what we're told

|C#m  |E                  |B               |A          |
 I       feel something so right, doing the wrong thing
|C#m  |E                  |B               |A          |
   And I feel something so wrong, doing the right thing
|A                         |A                 |A              |A                           |
   I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie, everything that kills me makes me feel alive

|C#m               |E                     |B                               |A          |
 Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep,  dreaming about the things that we could be
   |C#m             |E                     |
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
|B                                 |A                      |
   Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
|C#m               |E                     |B                               |A          |
 Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep,  dreaming about the things that we could be

 stars”, yeah, yeah

           |C#m                      |E                          |
I feel your love, and I feel it burn, down this river, every turn
|B                            |A                             |
 Hope is our four-letter word, make that money, watch it burn
|C#m                       |E                           |
 Old, but I'm not that old, young, but I'm not that bold
   |B                              |A                              |
And I don't think the world is sold,  on just doing what we're told

|C#m  |E                  |B               |A          |
 I       feel something so wrong, doing the right thing
|A                         |A                 |A              |A                           |
   I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie, everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

|C#m               |E                     |B                               |A          |
 Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep,  dreaming about the things that we could be
