verse 1: 
G                   G/F# 
Disappear from your hometown 
Em7             Dsus            C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
Go and find the people that you know 
G                  G/F# 
Show them all your good parts 
Em7             Dsus              C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
Leave town when bad ones start to show 
G            G/F# 
Go and wed a woman 
Em7           Dsus              C   Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
A pretty girl that you've never met 
G                       G/F#  
Make sure she knows you love her well 
Em7                Dsus  C       Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
But don't make any other promises 


 
    G                     Am 
The weight of lies will bring you down 
    C             D 
And follow you to every town 
      G               Am                   D         Dsus 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/F#        Em7           Dsus     C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
Mmm mm mmmum Mmmmmm ummmmmm mmmmm ooummmmm 



Verse2: 
G                   G/F# 
I once heard the worse thing 
Em7             Dsus            C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd 
G                  G/F# 
Tell everyone his name, pride, and  
Em7             Dsus             C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
Confidence but leaving out his doubt 
G                  G/F# 
I'm not sure I bought those words 
Em7                Dsus            C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
When I was young I knew most everything 
G                  G/F# 
These words have never meant as  
Em7            Dsus               C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
Much to anyone as they now mean to me 


      G                  Am 
The weight of lies will bring you down 
    C             D 
And follow you to every town 
      G               Am                       D      Dsus 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 down 

              G       G/F#        Em7           Dsus     C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C 
Mmm mm mmmum Mmmmmm ummmmmm mmmmm ooummmmm
