Weight Of Lies Tab

by The Avett Brothers


My second tab, it might be wrong, but it sounds pretty good
         intro 2x
Verse is the same descending chord progression: A A/G# F#m E D  4x
Chorus is:    ,       2x
That's pretty much the whole thing


Intro:
         2x

Verse:
                              
Disappear from your hometown
                                                               
Go and find the people that you know
                              
Show them all your good parts
                                                               
Leave town when bad ones start to show
                              
Go and wed a woman
                                                        
A pretty girl that you’ve never met
                                       
Make sure she knows you love her well
                                                                      
But don’t make any other promises

Chorus:
                                     
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


Verse:
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


Chorus:
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
