INTRO: [F#] [F#maj7] [B] [G#m] [C#7] [F#]
VERSE 1:
[F#] City girls just
[F#maj7] seem to find out
[B] early,
[G#m] how to open doors with just a
[C#] smile
A
[F#] rich old man and
[F#maj7] she won't have to
[B] worry
She'll
[G#m] dress up all in
[B] lace and go in
[F#] style
VERSE 2:
[F#] Late at night, a
[F#maj7] big old house gets
[B] lonely,
I guess
[G#m] every form of refuge has its
[C#] price
And it
[F#] breaks her heart to
[F#maj7] think her love is
[B] only
Given
[G#m] to a man with
[B] hands as cold as
[F#] ice
[G#m7] [C#7]
VERSE 3:
So she
[F#] tells him she must
[F#maj7] go out for the
[B] evening
To
[G#m] comfort an old friend who's feeling
[C#] down
But he
[F#] knows where she's
[F#maj7] goin' as she's
[B] leavin'.
She's
[G#m] headed for the
[B] cheatin' side of
[F#] town
[C#7] [F# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[F#] hide
[B/F#] your lyin'
[F#] eyes ^
[B/F#] [F#]
And your
[D#m] smile
[A#m] is a thin dis-
[G#m]-guise
[C#7]
I thought by
[F#] now
[E] you'd real-
[B]-ize
[G#7]
There
[G#m] ain't no way to
[C#] hide those lying
[F#] eyes.
[F#maj7] [B] [G#m] [C#7] [F#]
VERSE 4:
On the
[F#] other side of
[F#maj7] town a boy is
[B] waiting
with
[G#m] firey eyes and dreams no one could
[C#] steal
She
[F#] drives on through the
[F#maj7] night antici-
[B]-pating
Cause he
[G#m] makes her feel the
[B] way she used to
[F#] feel
[B] [C#7]
VERSE 5:
She
[F#] rushes to his
[F#maj7] arms they fall to-
[B]-gether
She
[G#m] whispers that its only for a
[C#7] while
She
[F#] says that soon she'll be
[F#maj7] coming back for-
[B]-ever
She
[G#m] pulls away and
[B] leaves him with a
[F#] smile
[C#7] [F# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[F#] hide
[B/F#] your lyin'
[F#] eyes ^
[B/F#] [F#]
And your
[D#m] smile
[A#m] is a thin dis-
[G#m]-guise
[C#7]
I thought by
[F#] now
[E] you'd real-
[B]-ize

[C#] hide those lying
[F#] eyes.
[F#maj7] [B] [G#m] [C#7] [F#]
VERSE 6:
[F#] She gets up and
[F#maj7] pours herself a
[B] strong one
And
[G#m] stares out at the stars up in the
[C#7] sky
An-
[F#]-other night, it's
[F#maj7] gonna be a
[B] long one.
She
[G#m] draws the shade and
[B] hangs her head to
[F#] cry
[G#m7] [C#7]
VERSE 7:
She
[F#] wonders how it
[F#maj7] ever got this
[B] crazy.
She
[G#m] thinks about a boy she knew in
[C#7] school
Did
[F#] she get tired or
[F#maj7] did she just get
[B] lazy?
She's
[G#m] so far gone, she
[B] feels just like a
[F#] fool
VERSE 8:
[F#] My, oh my, you
[F#maj7] sure know how to ar-
[B]-range things.
You
[G#m] set it up so well, so careful-
[C#7]-ly
Ain't it
[F#] funny how your
[F#maj7] new life didn't
[B] change things.
You're
[G#m] still the same old
[B] girl you used to
[F#] be
[C#7] [F# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[F#] hide
[B/F#] your lyin'
[F#] eyes ^
[B/F#] [F#]
And your
[D#m] smile
[A#m] is a thin dis-
[G#m]-guise
[C#7]
I thought by
[F#] now
[E] you'd real-
[B]-ize
[G#7]
There
[G#m] ain't no way to
[C#] hide those lying
[F#] eyes
[F#maj7]
There
[G#m] ain't no way to
[C#] hide those lying
[F#] eyes
[F#maj7]
[G#m] Honey you cant
[C#] hide your lyin
[F#] eyes
[F#maj7] [G#m] [C#] [F# open]
