Intro: G Gmaj7 C ' Am D7 G '
Verse 1:
-------
G Gmaj7 C '
City girls just seem to find out early
Am ' D '
How to open doors with just a smile
G Gmaj7 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:
-------
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
Verse 3:
-------
So she tells him she must go out for the
evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's
leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
Chorus:
------
G C G '
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Em Bm Am D7
And your smile is a thin disguise
G G7 C A
I thought by now you'd realize
Am D7 G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Gmaj7 C ' Am D G '
Verse 4:
-------
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night, anticipating
Cause he makes her feel the way she used to
feel
Verse 5:
-------
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers, "It's only for a while"
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back
forever
She goes away and leaves him with a smile
Chorus:
------
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Verse 6:
-------
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to
cry
Verse 7:
-------
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
Verse 8:
-------
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change
things?
You're still the same old girl you used to be
Chorus/Outro:

Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
