Intro:
G G/F# Em* D C Csus2 2x

Verse:
G                              G/F#
Disappear from your hometown
Em*                       D        C /Csus2
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:
G                   C
The weight of lies will bring you down
         Am                   D
And follow you to every town
            G              C                            D                            
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there
      G                                C
So when you run make sure you run
        Am                           D
To something and not away from
            G                     C                    D
Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere


Verse:
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 met so much to anyone
As they now mean to me
