[Intro]
[G] [Gmaj7] [C] [Am] [D7] [G]
[Verse]
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
City girls just seem to find out early,
[Am] [D7]
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.
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
[Am] [D7]
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
[Am] [C] [G] [C] [D]
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
[Am] [D7]
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
[G] [Gmaj7] [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/D] [G] [C] [G] [Em] [Bm]
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile
[Am] [D]
is a thin disguise.
[G] [F/G] [C] [A7] [Am]
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to
[D] [G]
hide your lying eyes.
[Interlude]
([G]) [Gmaj7] [C] [Am] [D7] [G]
[Verse]
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
[Am] [D7]
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
She drives on through the night, anticipating
[Am] [C] [G] [C] [D]
Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
[Am] [D7]
She whispers that it's only for a while
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
[Am] [C] [G]
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
[Chorus]
[G] [C/D] [G] [C] [G] [Em] [Bm]
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi-i-ile
[Am] [D]
is a thin disguise.
[G] [F/G] [C] [A7] [Am]
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to
[D] [G]
hide your lying eyes.
[Interlude]
([G]) [Gmaj7] [C] [Am] [D7] [G]
[Verse]
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
[Am] [D7]
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
[Am] [C] [G] [C] [D]
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
[Am] [D7]
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
[G] [Gmaj7] [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
[G] [Gmaj7] [C]
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
[Am] [D7]
You set it up so well, so carefully.
[G] [Gmaj7] [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/D] [G] [C] [G] [Em] [Bm]
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile
[Am] [D]
is a thin disguise.
[G] [F/G] [C] [A7] [Am]
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to
[D] [G]
hide your lying eyes.
[Gmaj7] [Am] [D] [G]
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
[Gmaj7] [Am] [D] [G]
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.
[Outro]
