[G] City girls just
[Gmaj7] seem to find out
[C] early,
[Am] how to open doors with just a
[D] smile
A

[Gmaj7] she won't have to
[C] worry
She'll
[Am] dress up all in
[C] lace and go in
[G] style
VERSE 2:
[G] Late at night, a
[Gmaj7] big old house gets
[C] lonely,
I guess
[Am] every form of refuge has its

And it

[Gmaj7] think her love is
[C] only
Given
[Am] to a man with
[C] hands as cold as
[G] ice
[Am7] [D7]
VERSE 3:
So she
[G] tells him she must
[Gmaj7] go out for the
[C] evening
To
[Am] comfort an old friend who's feeling
[D] down
But he
[G] knows where she's
[Gmaj7] goin' as she's
[C] leavin'.
She's
[Am] headed for the
[C] cheatin' side of
[G] town
[D7] [G open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[G] hide
[C/G] your lyin'
[G] eyes ^
[C/G] [G]
And your
[Em] smile
[Bm] is a thin dis-
[Am]-guise
[D7]
I thought by
[G] now
[F] you'd real-
[C]-ize
[A7]
There
[Am] ain't no way to
[D] hide those lying
[G] eyes.
[Gmaj7] [C] [Am] [D7] [G]
VERSE 4:
On the
[G] other side of
[Gmaj7] town a boy is
[C] waiting
with
[Am] firey eyes and dreams no one could
[D] steal
She
[G] drives on through the
[Gmaj7] night antici-
[C]-pating
Cause he
[Am] makes her feel the
[C] way she used to
[G] feel
[C] [D7]
VERSE 5:
She
[G] rushes to his
[Gmaj7] arms they fall to-
[C]-gether
She
[Am] whispers that its only for a
[D7] while
She
[G] says that soon she'll be
[Gmaj7] coming back for-
[C]-ever
She
[Am] pulls away and
[C] leaves him with a
[G] smile
[D7] [G open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[G] hide
[C/G] your lyin'
[G] eyes ^
[C/G] [G]
And your
[Em] smile
[Bm] is a thin dis-
[Am]-guise
[D7]
I thought by
[G] now
[F] you'd real-
[C]-ize
[A7]
There
[Am] ain't no way to
[D] hide those lying
[G] eyes.

VERSE 6:
[G] She gets up and
[Gmaj7] pours herself a
[C] strong one
And
[Am] stares out at the stars up in the
[D7] sky
An-
[G]-other night, it's
[Gmaj7] gonna be a
[C] long one.
She
[Am] draws the shade and
[C] hangs her head to
[G] cry
[Am7] [D7]
VERSE 7:
She
[G] wonders how it
[Gmaj7] ever got this
[C] crazy.
She
[Am] thinks about a boy she knew in
[D7] school
Did
[G] she get tired or
[Gmaj7] did she just get
[C] lazy?
She's
[Am] so far gone, she
[C] feels just like a
[G] fool
