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
G*
Go and find the people that you know
Show them all your good parts
G*
Leave town when bad ones start to show
Go and wed a woman
G*
A pretty girl that you've never met
Make sure she knows you love her well
G*
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
G*
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
G*
But leaving out his doubt
I'm not sure I bought those words
G*
When I was young I knew most everything
These words have never meant as much to anyone
G*
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
End on G
