Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

G* = only difference between this and regular G is to hit the

open D string rather than the 3rd fret E. You'll hear it in the song.

Intro Riff x2

Verse 1

Disappear from your hometown

Go and find the people that you know

Show them all your good parts

Leave town when bad ones start to show

Go and wed a woman

A pretty girl that you've never met

Make sure she knows you love her well

But don't make any other promises

Chorus

The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town

Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

Intro/Verse Riff x1

Verse 2

I once heard the worse thing

A man could do is draw a hungry crowd

Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence

But leaving out his doubt

I'm not sure I bought those words

When I was young I knew most everything

These words have never meant as much to anyone

As they now mean to me

Chorus

The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town

Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down

Intro/Verse Riff x2

Chorus

The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town

Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

Chorus

The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town

Cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

So when you run make sure you run

To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
