Intro:G CAm D GG C
City girls just seem to find out early,
Am D
how to open doors with just a smile.
G C
A rich old man and she wonʼt have to worry;
Am C G
sheʼll dress up all in lace and go in style.
G C
Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
Am D
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
G 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 C
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
Am D
To comfort an old friend whoʼs feeling down.
G C
But he knows where sheʼs goinʼ as sheʼs leavinʼ;
Am C G
Sheʼs headed for the cheatinʼ side of town.
Chorus: G C G
You canʼt hide your lyinʼ eyes,
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin disguise.
G C G A
I thought by now youʼd realize
Am D G
There ainʼt no way to hide your lying eyes.
G C
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
Am D
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
G 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 C
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
Am D
She whispers that itʼs only for a while
G C
She swears that soon sheʼll be coming back forever
Am C G
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
Chorus: G C G
You canʼt hide your lyinʼ eyes,
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin disguise.
G C G A
I thought by now youʼd realize
Am D G
There ainʼt no way to hide your lying eyes.
G C
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
Am D
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
G C
Another night, itʼs gonna be a long one;
Am C G C D
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
G C
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
Am D
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
G C
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
Am C G C D
Sheʼs so far gone, she feels just like a fool
G C
My, oh my, you sure know how to arange things;
Am D
You set it up so well, so carefully.
G C
Ainʼt it funny how your new life didnʼt change things;
Am C G
Youʼre still the same old girl you used to be.
Chorus: G C G
You canʼt hide your lyinʼ eyes,
Em Bm Am D
And your smile is a thin disguise.
G C G A
I thought by now youʼd realize
Am D G
There ainʼt no way to hide your lying eyes.
Am D G
There ainʼt no way to hide your lyinʼ eyes
Am D G
Honey, you canʼt hide your lyinʼ eyes.
