The weight of lies will bring you down

And follow you to every town

Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
G* C Cm7 Cadd9 C
But leaving out his doubt
G Gm7
I'm not sure I bought those words

When I was young I knew most everything
G Gm7 G6
These words have never meant as much to anyone
G* C Cm7 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

To something and not away from
G Am D
Cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you down
