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]
G Gm7
Disappear from your hometown
G6 G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
Go and find the people that you know
G Gm7
Show them all your good parts
G6 G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
Leave town when bad ones start to show
G Gm7
Go and wed a woman
G6 G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
A pretty girl that you've never met
G Gm7
Make sure she knows you love her well
G6 G* C Cm7 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
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 aeroplane to chase you anywhere
Intro/Verse Riff x1
[Verse 2]
G Gm7
I once heard the worse thing
G6 G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd
G Gm7 G6
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
But leaving out his doubt
G Gm7
I'm not sure I bought those words
G6 G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
When I was young I knew most everything
G Gm7 G6
These words have never meant as much to anyone
G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
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
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 aeroplane to chase you down
Intro/Verse Riff x2
[Chorus]
G Am
The weight of lies will bring you down
C D
And follow you to every town
G Am 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 aeroplane to chase you anywhere
[Chorus]
G Am
The weight of lies will bring you down
C D
And follow you to every town
G Am 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 aeroplane to chase you down
End on G
