Intro
C, Cmaj7, Am7, Am7no5
F, Am, F, Am7no5

C                   Cmaj7
Disappear from your home town
Am7no5                          F
Go and find the people that you know
C                     Cmaj7
Show them all of your good parts
Am7no5                                F
Leave town when the bad ones start to show

C            Cmaj7
Go and wed a woman
Am7no5                       F
A pretty girl that you never met
C                       Cmaj7
Make sure she knows you love her well
Am7no5                   F
But don't make any other promises

C                                 G
The weight of lies will bring you down
    F                   G
And follow you to every town 'cause
C                G                F          G
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
C                     G
So, when you run make sure you run
   F                 G
To something and not a way from
C                        G             F           G
Cause Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere


C                Cmaj7       Am7no5                        F     Am7no5
I once heard the worst thing a man can do is draw a hungry crowd
C                Cmaj7             Am7no5
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
                    F      Am7no5
But leaving out his doubts
C               Cmaj7
I'm not sure I bought those words
Am7no5                       F      Am7no5
When I was young I knew most everything
C                      Cmaj7            Am7no5
These words have never meant as much to anyone
                    F  Am7no5
As they now mean to me

C                      G
The weight of lies will bring you down
F                 G
And follow you to every town 'cause
C               G          F             G
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
C                      G
So, when you run make sure you run
F                    G
To something and not away from 'cause
C                  G             F        G
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down

C                      G
The weight of lies will bring you down
F                 G
And follow you to every town 'cause
C               G          F             G
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
C                      G
So, when you run make sure you run
F                    G
To something and not away from 'cause
C                  G             F        G
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
C                      G
The weight of lies will bring you down
F                 G
And follow you to every town 'cause
C               G          F             G
Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there
C                      G
So, when you run make sure you run
F                    G
To something and not away from 'cause
C                  G             F        G
Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
