<< Back to The Avett Brothers Song List

Version 1 Version 3 Version 5

            [Intro]
G G/F# Em7 Dsus C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C X2


[Verse]
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


[Chorus]
    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


[Interlude]
G G/F# Em7 Dsus C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C


[Verse]
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#              Em7        
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
    Dsus            C    Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
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#                Em7 
These words have never met as much to anyone
   Dsus             C  Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
As they now mean to me


[Chorus]
    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


[Interlude]
G G/F# Em7 Dsus C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C X2


[Chorus]
    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


[Chorus]
    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
