Key: :[A#] (w: Don Henley, Glenn Frey)
INTRO: [A#] [A#maj7] [D#] [Cm] [F7] [A#]
VERSE 1:
[A#] City girls just
[A#maj7] seem to find out
[D#] early,
[Cm] how to open doors with just a
[F] smile
A
[A#] rich old man and
[A#maj7] she won't have to
[D#] worry
She'll
[Cm] dress up all in
[D#] lace and go in
[A#] style
VERSE 2:
[A#] Late at night, a
[A#maj7] big old house gets
[D#] lonely,
I guess
[Cm] every form of refuge has its
[F] price
And it
[A#] breaks her heart to
[A#maj7] think her love is
[D#] only
Given
[Cm] to a man with
[D#] hands as cold as
[A#] ice
[Cm7] [F7]
VERSE 3:
So she
[A#] tells him she must
[A#maj7] go out for the
[D#] evening
To
[Cm] comfort an old friend who's feeling
[F] down
But he
[A#] knows where she's
[A#maj7] goin' as she's
[D#] leavin'.
She's
[Cm] headed for the
[D#] cheatin' side of
[A#] town
[F7] [A# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[A#] hide
[D#/A#] your lyin'
[A#] eyes ^
[D#/A#] [A#]
And your
[Gm] smile
[Dm] is a thin dis-
[Cm]-guise
[F7]
I thought by
[A#] now
[G#] you'd real-
[D#]-ize
[C7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[A#] eyes.
[A#maj7] [D#] [Cm] [F7] [A#]
VERSE 4:
On the
[A#] other side of
[A#maj7] town a boy is
[D#] waiting
with
[Cm] firey eyes and dreams no one could
[F] steal
She
[A#] drives on through the
[A#maj7] night antici-
[D#]-pating
Cause he
[Cm] makes her feel the
[D#] way she used to
[A#] feel
[D#] [F7]
VERSE 5:
She
[A#] rushes to his
[A#maj7] arms they fall to-
[D#]-gether
She
[Cm] whispers that its only for a
[F7] while
She
[A#] says that soon she'll be
[A#maj7] coming back for-
[D#]-ever
She
[Cm] pulls away and
[D#] leaves him with a
[A#] smile
[F7] [A# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[A#] hide
[D#/A#] your lyin'
[A#] eyes ^
[D#/A#] [A#]
And your
[Gm] smile
[Dm] is a thin dis-
[Cm]-guise
[F7]
I thought by
[A#] now
[G#] you'd real-
[D#]-ize
[C7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[A#] eyes.
[A#maj7] [D#] [Cm] [F7] [A#]
VERSE 6:
[A#] She gets up and
[A#maj7] pours herself a
[D#] strong one
And
[Cm] stares out at the stars up in the
[F7] sky
An-
[A#]-other night, it's
[A#maj7] gonna be a
[D#] long one.
She
[Cm] draws the shade and
[D#] hangs her head to
[A#] cry
[Cm7] [F7]
VERSE 7:
She
[A#] wonders how it
[A#maj7] ever got this
[D#] crazy.
She
[Cm] thinks about a boy she knew in
[F7] school
Did
[A#] she get tired or
[A#maj7] did she just get
[D#] lazy?
She's
[Cm] so far gone, she
[D#] feels just like a
[A#] fool
VERSE 8:
[A#] My, oh my, you
[A#maj7] sure know how to ar-
[D#]-range things.
You
[Cm] set it up so well, so careful-
[F7]-ly
Ain't it
[A#] funny how your
[A#maj7] new life didn't
[D#] change things.
You're
[Cm] still the same old
[D#] girl you used to
[A#] be
[F7] [A# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[A#] hide
[D#/A#] your lyin'
[A#] eyes ^
[D#/A#] [A#]
And your
[Gm] smile
[Dm] is a thin dis-
[Cm]-guise
[F7]
I thought by
[A#] now
[G#] you'd real-
[D#]-ize
[C7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[A#] eyes
[A#maj7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[A#] eyes
[A#maj7]
[Cm] Honey you cant
[F] hide your lyin
[A#] eyes
[A#maj7] [Cm] [F] [A# open]
