Key: :[D#] (w: Don Henley, Glenn Frey)
INTRO: [D#] [D#maj7] [G#] [Fm] [A#7] [D#]
VERSE 1:
[D#] City girls just
[D#maj7] seem to find out
[G#] early,
[Fm] how to open doors with just a
[A#] smile
A
[D#] rich old man and
[D#maj7] she won't have to
[G#] worry
She'll
[Fm] dress up all in
[G#] lace and go in
[D#] style
VERSE 2:
[D#] Late at night, a
[D#maj7] big old house gets
[G#] lonely,
I guess
[Fm] every form of refuge has its
[A#] price
And it
[D#] breaks her heart to
[D#maj7] think her love is
[G#] only
Given
[Fm] to a man with
[G#] hands as cold as
[D#] ice
[Fm7] [A#7]
VERSE 3:
So she
[D#] tells him she must
[D#maj7] go out for the
[G#] evening
To
[Fm] comfort an old friend who's feeling
[A#] down
But he
[D#] knows where she's
[D#maj7] goin' as she's
[G#] leavin'.
She's
[Fm] headed for the
[G#] cheatin' side of
[D#] town
[A#7] [D# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[D#] hide
[G#/D#] your lyin'
[D#] eyes ^
[G#/D#] [D#]
And your
[Cm] smile
[Gm] is a thin dis-
[Fm]-guise
[A#7]
I thought by
[D#] now
[C#] you'd real-
[G#]-ize
[F7]
There
[Fm] ain't no way to
[A#] hide those lying
[D#] eyes.
[D#maj7] [G#] [Fm] [A#7] [D#]
VERSE 4:
On the
[D#] other side of
[D#maj7] town a boy is
[G#] waiting
with
[Fm] firey eyes and dreams no one could
[A#] steal
She
[D#] drives on through the
[D#maj7] night antici-
[G#]-pating
Cause he
[Fm] makes her feel the
[G#] way she used to
[D#] feel
[G#] [A#7]
VERSE 5:
She
[D#] rushes to his
[D#maj7] arms they fall to-
[G#]-gether
She
[Fm] whispers that its only for a
[A#7] while
She
[D#] says that soon she'll be
[D#maj7] coming back for-
[G#]-ever
She
[Fm] pulls away and
[G#] leaves him with a
[D#] smile
[A#7] [D# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[D#] hide
[G#/D#] your lyin'
[D#] eyes ^
[G#/D#] [D#]
And your
[Cm] smile
[Gm] is a thin dis-
[Fm]-guise
[A#7]
I thought by
[D#] now
[C#] you'd real-
[G#]-ize
[F7]
There
[Fm] ain't no way to
[A#] hide those lying
[D#] eyes.
[D#maj7] [G#] [Fm] [A#7] [D#]
VERSE 6:
[D#] She gets up and
[D#maj7] pours herself a
[G#] strong one
And
[Fm] stares out at the stars up in the
[A#7] sky
An-
[D#]-other night, it's
[D#maj7] gonna be a
[G#] long one.
She
[Fm] draws the shade and
[G#] hangs her head to
[D#] cry
[Fm7] [A#7]
VERSE 7:
She
[D#] wonders how it
[D#maj7] ever got this
[G#] crazy.
She
[Fm] thinks about a boy she knew in
[A#7] school
Did
[D#] she get tired or
[D#maj7] did she just get
[G#] lazy?
She's
[Fm] so far gone, she
[G#] feels just like a
[D#] fool
VERSE 8:
[D#] My, oh my, you
[D#maj7] sure know how to ar-
[G#]-range things.
You
[Fm] set it up so well, so careful-
[A#7]-ly
Ain't it
[D#] funny how your
[D#maj7] new life didn't
[G#] change things.
You're
[Fm] still the same old
[G#] girl you used to
[D#] be
[A#7] [D# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[D#] hide
[G#/D#] your lyin'
[D#] eyes ^
[G#/D#] [D#]
And your
[Cm] smile
[Gm] is a thin dis-
[Fm]-guise
[A#7]
I thought by
[D#] now
[C#] you'd real-
[G#]-ize
[F7]
There
[Fm] ain't no way to
[A#] hide those lying
[D#] eyes
[D#maj7]
There
[Fm] ain't no way to
[A#] hide those lying
[D#] eyes
[D#maj7]
[Fm] Honey you cant
[A#] hide your lyin
[D#] eyes
[D#maj7] [Fm] [A#] [D# open]
