Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Disappear from your home town
Go and find the people that you [C]know
[G]Show them all of your good parts
Leave town when the bad

[Interlude 1]
ones start to show
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Going with a woman
A pretty girl that you never [C]met
Make [G]sure she knows you love her well
But [Em]don't [G]make any other promises
[C]

[Verse 3]
The [G]weight of lies will [Am]bring you down
And [C]follow you to [D]every town 'cause
[G]Nothing happens [Am]here that
doesn't hap[D]pen there
[G]When you run make sure
[Am]you run
[C]To something and not [D]away from 'cause
[G]Lies don't need an [Am]aeroplane
[D]to chase you anywhere

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]I once heard the worse thing a man
can do is draw a hungry [C]crowd
Tell [G]everyone his name in
pride and confidence
But leaving out his [C]doubts
[G]I'm not sure I bought those words
When I was young I knew most
[C]everything[Am][C]
These [G]words have never
meant as much to anyone
As they now mean to me
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]The weight of lies will [Am]bring you down
And [C]follow you to every [D]town 'cause
[G]Nothing happens [Am]here that
doesn't hap[D]pen there
[G]When you run make sure
[Am]you run
[C]To something and not [D]away from 'cause
[G]Lies don't need an [Am]aeroplane
[D]to chase you down

[Interlude 3]
[D][G][C]
[G][C][D][C]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
The [G]weight of lies will [Am]bring you down
And [C]follow you to [D]every town 'cause
[G]Nothing happens [Am]here that
doesn't hap[D]pen there
So [G]when you run make [Am]sure you run
To [C]something and not [D]away from 'cause
[G]Lies don't need an [Am]aeroplane
to [D]chase you anywhere

[Verse 7]
[D]The [G]weight of lies will [Am]bring you down
And [C]follow you to [D]every town 'cause
[G]Nothing happens [Am]here that
doesn't hap[D]pen there
So [G]when you run make sure
[Am]you run
[C]To something and not [D]away from 'cause
[G]Lies don't need an [Am]aeroplane
[D]to chase you down
