[Intro]
G G7M C Am
D7 G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G               G7M                 C
City girls just seem to find out early
Am
How to open doors with just a smile.
D7  G
  A rich old man
    G7M                  C
And she won't have to worry.
       Am                  C                G
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
 
 
[Verse 2]
G               G7M                    C
Late at night a big old house gets lonely.
        Am                                 D7
I guess every form of refuge has its price,
       G                   G7M
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
  C        Am                 C
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
 
 
[Verse 3]
G C D7       G                  G7M               C
      So she tells him she must go out for the evening,
   Am
To comfort an old friend who's feelin'down,
D7    G                      G7M          C
  But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'.
       Am             C
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town.
 
 
[Chorus]
G          G   C/G
 You can't hide   your lyin' eyes,
G Am/C G        D/F# Em   Bm             Am
        And your     smile  is a thin disguise.
D7             G  F/G              C
  I thought by now   you'd realize,
A7      Am                  D7
  There ain't no way to hide  your lyin' eyes.

[Verse 4]
       G                 G7M            C
On the other side of town   a boy is waiting,
     Am                   Am7            D7
With fiery eyes and dreams   noone could steal.
    G                     G7M           C
She drives on through the night anticipating,
          Am                 C                    G
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel.
 
 
[Verse 5]
C D7    G
    She rushes to his arms,
G7M            C
   They fall together.
    Am                            D7
She whispers that it's only for a while.
    G                          G7M             C
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever.
    Am             C                       G
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile.
 
 
[Chorus]
          G   C/G
You can't hide   your lyin' eyes,
G Am/C G        D/F# Em   Bm             Am
        And your     smile  is a thin disguise.
D7             G  F/G              C
  I thought by now   you'd realize.
A7      Am                  D7
  There ain't no way to hide  your lyin' eyes.

[Verse 6]
G               G7M                   C
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
    Am
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
D7 G                  G7M            C
  Another night, it's gonna be a long one
    Am                       C
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
 
 
[Verse 7]
G C D7    G              G7M           C
      She wonders how it ever got this crazy.
    Am
She thinks about a boy she knew in school.
D7    G                G7M                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              G7M                     C
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things.
    Am                           D7
You set it up so well, so carefully.
         G                 G7M                  C
Ain't it funny how your new   life didn't change things.
       Am                 C
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
 
 
[Chorus]
G          G   C/G
 You can't hide   your lyin' eyes,
G Am/C G        D/F# Em   Bm             Am
        And your     smile  is a thin disguise.
D7             G   F/G           C
  I thought by now you'd realize,
A7      Am                  D7
  There ain't no way to hide  your lyin' eyes.
 
 
[Outro]
G G7M      Am                  D7
     There ain't no way to hide  your lyin' eyes.
G G7M Am                   D7
      Honey, you can't hide  your lyin' eyes.
G G7M Am D7
