A Amaj7 D Bm E7 A
[Verse]
A Amaj7 D
City girls just seem to find out early,
Bm E7
how to open doors with just a smile.
A Amaj7 D
A rich old man and she won't have to worry;
Bm D A
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
A Amaj7 D
Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
Bm E7
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
A Amaj7 D
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Bm D A D E
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
A Amaj7 D
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
Bm E7
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
A Amaj7 D
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin';
Bm D A
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town.
[Chorus]
A D/E A D A F#m C#m Bm E
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile is a thin disguise.
A G/A D B7 Bm E A
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Interlude]
(A) Amaj7 D Bm E7 A
[Verse]
A Amaj7 D
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
Bm E7
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
A Amaj7 D
She drives on through the night, anticipating
Bm D A D E
Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel
A Amaj7 D
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
Bm E7
She whispers that it's only for a while
A Amaj7 D
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
Bm D A
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
[Chorus]
A D/E A D A F#m C#m Bm E
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi-i-ile is a thin disguise.
A G/A D B7 Bm E A
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Interlude]
(A) Amaj7 D Bm E7 A
[Verse]
A Amaj7 D
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
Bm E7
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
A Amaj7 D
Another night, it's gonna be a long one;
Bm D A D E
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
A Amaj7 D
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
Bm E7
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
A Amaj7 D
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
Bm D A
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
A Amaj7 D
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things;
Bm E7
You set it up so well, so carefully.
A Amaj7 D
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things;
Bm D A
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
[Chorus]
A D/E A D A F#m C#m Bm E
You can't hi - ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile is a thin disguise.
A G/A D B7 Bm E A
I thought by no - ow you'd reali - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
Amaj7 Bm E A
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Amaj7 Bm E A
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.
