[Intro]
G Gmaj7 C Am D G
G Gmaj7 C C/B
City girls just seem to find out early
Am D D/C D/B D/A
How to open doors with just a smile
G
A rich old man
Gmaj7 C C/B
And she won't have to worry
Am D G
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Gmaj7 C C/B
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
Am D D/B D/A
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
G Gmaj7 C C/B
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Am D G
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
Gmaj7 C C/B
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
Am D D/C D/B D/A
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
G Gmaj7 C C/B
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
Am D G
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
C/G G G/F#
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin dis guise
G Dm C A
I thought by now you'd real ize
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
G Gmaj7 C Am D G
G Gmaj7 C C/B
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
Am D D/C D/B D/A
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
G Gmaj7 C C/B
She drives on through the night anticip ating
Am D G
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
G Gmaj7
She rushes to his arms,
C C/B
They fall to gether
Am D D/C D/B D/A
She whispers that it's only for a while
G Gmaj7 C C/B
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back for ever
Am D G
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
C/G G G/F#
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin dis guise
G Dm C A
I thought by now you'd real ize
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
G Gmaj7 C Am D G
G Gmaj7 C C/B
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
Am D D/C D/B D/A
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
G Gmaj7 C C/B
An other night, it's gonna be a long one
Am D G
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
G Gmaj7 C C/B
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
Am D D/C D/B D/A
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
G Gmaj7 C C/B
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
Am D G
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
G Gmaj7 C C/B
My, oh my, you sure know how to arr ange things
Am D D/C D/B D/A
You set it up so well, so carefull y
G Gmaj7 C C/B
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
Am D G
You're still the same old girl you used to be
C/G G G/F#
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin dis guise
G Dm C A
I thought by now you'd real ize
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
Am D G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
Am D G
Honey you can't hide your lyin eyes
G Gmaj7 C Am D G
