[Verse 1]
G G7 C
City girls just seem to find out early,
Am D
how to open doors with just a smile.
G G7 C
A rich old man and she won't have to worry,
Am C G
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
[Verse 2]
G G7 C
Late at night a big old house gets lonely,
Am D
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
G G7 C
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Am C G
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
[Verse 3]
G G7 C
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
Am D
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
G G7 C
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin',
Am C G
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town.
[Chorus]
G C G
You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes,
Em Bm Am
and your smi-ile is a thin dis-guise.
D G G7 C A
I thought by no-ow you'd real-i-ize,
Am D G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Verse 4]
G G7 C
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
Am D
with fiery eyes and dreams no-one could steal
G G7 C
She drives on through the night antici-pating
Am C G
Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel
[Verse 5]
G G7 C
She rushes to his arms they fall to-gether
Am D
She whispers that its only for a while
G G7 C
She swears that soon she'll be coming back for-ever
Am C G
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
[Chorus]
G C G
You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes,
Em Bm Am
and your smi-ile is a thin dis-guise.
D G G7 C A
I thought by no-ow you'd real-i-ize,
Am D G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Verse 6]
G G7 C
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
Am D
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
G G7 C
A-nother night, it's gonna be a long one,
Am C G
She draws a shade and hangs her head to cry.
[Verse 7]
G G7 C
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
Am D
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
G G7 C
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
Am C G
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
[Verse 8]
G G7 C
My, oh my, you sure know how to ar-range things,
Am D
You set it up so well, so carefu-lly.
G G7 C
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things,
Am C G
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
[Chorus]
G C G
You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes,
Em Bm Am
and your smi-ile is a thin dis-guise.
D G G7 C A
I thought by no-ow you'd real-i-ize,
Am D G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Outro]
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
Am D G
Honey you can't hide your lyin eyes
