[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 Am D | |
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile is a thin disguise. | |
G F/G C A7 Am D G | |
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to 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 Am D | |
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi-i-ile is a thin disguise. | |
G F/G C A7 Am D G | |
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to 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 Am D | |
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile is a thin disguise. | |
G F/G C A7 Am D G | |
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to 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. | |
