[Verse]
A                            
Disappear from your home town
                                D    Dmaj7 D
Go and find the people that you know ■     ■
Dmaj7 A         Amaj7                 
■     Show them all of your good parts
A                                     D   
Leave town when the bad ones start to show
A                 
Going with a woman
                             D  
A pretty girl that you never met
Dmaj7      A                  Amaj7        
■     Make sure she knows you love her well
                   A     D        Bm7 D
But don't make any other promises ■   ■


[Chorus]
A                       Bm            
The weight of lies will bring you down
    D             E                
And follow you to every town 'cause
A               Bm                E           
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
A                 Bm          
When you run make sure you run
D                    E               
To something and not away from 'cause
A                  Bm           E7                
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere

[Verse]
A                                                          D     Dmaj7
I once heard the worse thing a man can do is draw a hungry crowd ■    
A                                             
Tell everyone his name in pride and confidence
                    D     
But leaving out his doubts
A                                
I'm not sure I bought those words
                             D         
When I was young I knew most everything
Bm7 D       A                                       
■   ■ These words have never meant as much to anyone
                    D  Dmaj7 D
As they now mean to me ■     ■


[Chorus]
A                       Bm            
The weight of lies will bring you down
    D             E                
And follow you to every town 'cause
A               Bm                E           
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
A                 Bm          
When you run make sure you run
D                E                   
To something and not away from 'cause
A                  Bm           E             
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down

And follow you to every town 'cause
A               Bm                E           
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
A                    Bm          
So when you run make sure you run
D                E                   
To something and not away from 'cause
A                  Bm           E                 
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere
A                       Bm            
The weight of lies will bring you down
    D             E                
And follow you to every town 'cause
A               Bm                E           
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
   A                 Bm          
So when you run make sure you run
   D                 E               
To something and not away from 'cause
A                  Bm           Esus4     E7   A
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down ■
