The Avett Brothers – The Weight Of Lies (Guitar)

G                   G/F#
Disappear from your hometown

Em7             Dsus            C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Go and find the people that you know

G                  G/F#
Show them all your good parts

Em7             Dsus              C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Leave town when bad ones start to show

G            G/F#
Go and wed a woman

Em7           Dsus              C   Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
A pretty girl that you’ve never met

G                       G/F# 
Make sure she knows you love her well

Em7                Dsus  C       Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
But don’t make any other promises

    G                             Am
The weight of lies will bring you down

    C             D
And follow you to every town

      G               Am                       D      Dsus D             
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there

   G                          Am
So when you run make sure you run

   C                      D
To something and not away from

      G                  Am            D                  
Cause lies don’t need an aero-plane to chase you anywhere

G                G/F#
I once heard the worse thing

Em7               Dsus           C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd

G                 G/F#              Em7        
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence

    Dsus            C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
But leaving out his doubt

G              G/F#
I’m not sure I bought those words

Em7                Dsus            C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
When I was young I knew most everything

G                 G/F#                Em7 
These words have never met as much to anyone

   Dsus             C  Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
As they now mean to me

    G                             Am
The weight of lies will bring you down

    C             D
And follow you to every town

      G               Am                       D      Dsus D             
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there

   G                          Am
So when you run make sure you run

   C                      D
To something and not away from

      G                  Am            D                  
Cause lies don’t need an aero-plane to chase you anywhere

    G                             Am
The weight of lies will bring you down

    C             D

Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there

   G                          Am

    G                             Am
The weight of lies will bring you down

    C             D
And follow you to every town

      G               Am                       D      Dsus D             
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there

   G                          Am
So when you run make sure you run

   C                      D
To something and not away from

      G                  Am            D
