Weight Of Lies
The Avett Brothers
Text File
This is my first attempt at this. So bear with me.
There were a few that were close but not quite right so I decided to give it a try.
Note that the only difference between chorus 1 and 2 is the very last word.
Also, I know the chords don't show it, but I think they keep the
B and E strings fretted at the 3rd fret (past the capo) for the first 4 chords of
this progression.
Just listen and do whichever sounds best to you!
Capo II
Intro:
G G/F# Em7 Dsus C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C X2
Verse 1:
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 1:
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
G G/F# Em7 Dsus C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C
Verse2:
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 as much to anyone
As they now mean to me
Chorus2:
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 aero-plane to chase you down
Repeat Intro
Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2
