[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.

[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.
