IntroGGCAmD7GVerseGGC
City girls just seem to find out early,
AmD7
how to open doors with just a smile.
GGCA rich old man and she won't have to worry;
AmCG
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
GGC
Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
AmD7
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
GGC
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
AmCGCD
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
G Gmaj C
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
AmD7
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
GGC
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin';
AmCG
She's headed for that cheatin' side of town.
ChorusGCGEmBmAmD
You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
GG7CA7AmDG
I thought by now you'd realize there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
VerseGGC
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
AmD7
with stormy eyes and dreams no-one could steal
GGC
She drives on throught the night anticipating
AmCGCD
Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel
G Gmaj C
She rushes to his arms they fall together
AmD7
She whispers that its only for a while
GGC
She says that soon she'll be coming back forever
AmCG
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
ChorusGCGEmBmAmD
You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
GG7CA7AmD7G
I thought by now you'd realize there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
VerseGGC
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
AmD7
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
GGC
Another night, it's gonna be a long one;
AmCG
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
GGC
And she wonders how it ever got this crazy
AmD7
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
GGC
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
AmCG
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
GGC
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things;
AmD7
You set it up so well, so carefully.
GGC
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things;
AmCG
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
ChorusGCGEmBmAmD
You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
GG7CA7AmDG
I thought by now you'd realize there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
