Start Jamming...
[Bb] This song's called The Weight of Lies.
[Gm] [Bb] [Eb] [Gm]
[Bb] Disappear from your hometown.
[Gm] Go and find [Bb] the people [Eb] that you know.
[Gm]
[Bb] Show them all of your good parts.
Leave town when the [Bb] bad parts start to [Eb] show.
[Gm]
Go and [A] find a woman,
[Gm] a pretty girl [Bb] that you've never [Eb] met.
[Gm]
[Bb] Make sure she knows you love her well,
but don't make any other [Eb] promises.
[Gm]
[F] [Gm] The [Bb] weight of lies will bring you [Eb] down
and follow [F] you to every town
cause [Bb] nothing happens [Cm] here that [F] doesn't happen there.
[Bb] So when you run, [C] make sure you run [Eb] to something and [F] not a [Bb] coast.
Lies don't [Cm] [F] complain to chase you anywhere.
Oh, [Bb] oh, oh, oh.
[Gm] [Bb] [Eb]
[Gm] [Bb] I once heard the worst thing a man can do is throw a hungry [F] crowd.
[Gm] [Bb] Tell everyone his name with [Gm] pride and confidence
but leaving [Eb] out his dad.
[Gm] [Bb]
Those words, when I was young I knew most [Eb] everything.
[Gm] [Bb] These words have never meant as much [Gm] to anyone [Bb] as they now mean to [Eb] me.
[Gm] [Bb] The weight of lies [Cm] will bring you [Eb] down
and follow [F] you to every [Bb] town
cause nothing [Cm] happens here that doesn't happen [F] there.
[Bb] So when you [Cm] run, make sure you [Eb] run to something and [F] not a way
cause [Bb] lies don't [Cm] need [F] to chase you down.
Oh, oh, oh, [Bb] oh.
[Gm]
