[Intro] G G Em D C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C G G Em D C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C [Verse 1]
G                   G
Disappear from your hometown

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Go and find the people that you know

G                  G
Show them all your good parts

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Leave town when bad ones start to show

G            G
Go and wed a woman

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
A pretty girl that you’ve never met

G                       G
Make sure she knows you love her well

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
But don’t make any other promises
[Chorus]
    G                     Am
The weight of lies will bring you down

    C             D
And follow you to every town

      G          Am                D Dsus4 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 Em D C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C [Verse 2]
G                   G
I once heard the worse thing

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd

G                  G
Tell everyone his name, pride, and

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Confidence but leaving out his doubt

G                  G
I’m not sure I bought those words

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
When I was young I knew most everything

G                  G
These words have never meant as

Em             D          C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Much to anyone as they now mean to me
[Chorus]
     G                     Am
The weight of lies will bring you down

    C             D
And follow you to every town

      G          Am                D Dsus4 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 Em D C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C [Outro]
G                     Am
The weight of lies will bring you down

    C             D
And follow you to every town

Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there

   G                          Am
So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from

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