Verse 1:
G               G7               C
City girls just seem to find out early, 
Am                            D
how to open doors with just a smile.
  G                G7                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.


Verse 2:
G               G7                 C
Late at night a big old house gets lonely,
  Am                                 D
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
       G                   G7                C
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
      Am            C                G      
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.


Verse 3:
       G                  G7             C
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
    Am                                 D
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
    G                    G7             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              G              
You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes, 
         Em  Bm                Am      
and your smi-ile is a thin dis-guise.
D              G  G7            C A       
  I thought by no-ow you'd real-i-ize,
      Am              D               G 
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.


Verse 4:
G                    G7            C
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
     Am                                 D
with fiery eyes and dreams no-one could steal
G                          G7          C
She drives on through the night antici-pating
       Am                 C               G  
Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel


Verse 5:
G                 G7                C
She rushes to his arms they fall to-gether
    Am                            D
She whispers that its only for a while
    G                          G7              C
She swears that soon she'll be coming back for-ever
     Am            C                 G  
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile


Chorus:
          G  C              G              
You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes, 
         Em  Bm                Am      
and your smi-ile is a thin dis-guise.
D              G  G7            C A       
  I thought by no-ow you'd real-i-ize,
      Am              D               G 
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.


Verse 6:
    G           G7              C
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
    Am                                D
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
  G                  G7         C
A-nother night, it's gonna be a long one,
    Am                C                 G                
She draws a shade and hangs her head to cry.


Verse 7:
    G              G7            C
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
    Am                             D
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
    G                G7               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


Verse 8:
G              G7                  C
My, oh my, you sure know how to ar-range things,
    Am                           D
You set it up so well, so carefu-lly.
         G              G7              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              G              
You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes, 
         Em  Bm                Am      
and your smi-ile is a thin dis-guise.
D              G  G7            C A       
  I thought by no-ow you'd real-i-ize,
      Am              D               G 
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.


Outro:
      Am              D              G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
      Am        D              G
Honey you can't hide your lyin eyes
