The Avett Brothers - The Weight Of Lies
Capo 2
Intro - G G/F#m Em C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
[G]Disappear from [G/F#m]your hometown
Go and [Em]find th[D]e people that you[C] know[Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [C]
[G]Show them all you [G/F#m]good parts
[Em]Leave town whe[D]n bad ones start to [C]show[Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [C]
[G]Go and wed a [G/F#m]woman
A [Em]pretty gir[D]l that you've never[C] met[Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [C]
Make [G]sure she knows you [G/F#m]love her well
But [Em]don't make an[D]y other promi[C]ses[Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [C]
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 [D]happen 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 aero[Am]plane to [D]chase you anywhere
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
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
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
[(Cmaj7)] [(Cadd9)]
