Key: :[Bb] (w: Don Henley, Glenn Frey)
INTRO: [Bb] [Bbmaj7] [Eb] [Cm] [F7] [Bb]
VERSE 1:
[Bb] City girls just
[Bbmaj7] seem to find out
[Eb] early,
[Cm] how to open doors with just a
[F] smile
A
[Bb] rich old man and
[Bbmaj7] she won't have to
[Eb] worry
She'll
[Cm] dress up all in
[Eb] lace and go in
[Bb] style
VERSE 2:
[Bb] Late at night, a
[Bbmaj7] big old house gets
[Eb] lonely,
I guess
[Cm] every form of refuge has its
[F] price
And it
[Bb] breaks her heart to
[Bbmaj7] think her love is
[Eb] only
Given
[Cm] to a man with
[Eb] hands as cold as
[Bb] ice
[Cm7] [F7]
VERSE 3:
So she
[Bb] tells him she must
[Bbmaj7] go out for the
[Eb] evening
To
[Cm] comfort an old friend who's feeling
[F] down
But he
[Bb] knows where she's
[Bbmaj7] goin' as she's
[Eb] leavin'.
She's
[Cm] headed for the
[Eb] cheatin' side of
[Bb] town
[F7] [Bb open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[Bb] hide
[Eb/Bb] your lyin'
[Bb] eyes ^
[Eb/Bb] [Bb]
And your
[Gm] smile
[Dm] is a thin dis-
[Cm]-guise
[F7]
I thought by
[Bb] now
[Ab] you'd real-
[Eb]-ize
[C7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[Bb] eyes.
[Bbmaj7] [Eb] [Cm] [F7] [Bb]
VERSE 4:
On the
[Bb] other side of
[Bbmaj7] town a boy is
[Eb] waiting
with
[Cm] firey eyes and dreams no one could
[F] steal
She
[Bb] drives on through the
[Bbmaj7] night antici-
[Eb]-pating
Cause he
[Cm] makes her feel the
[Eb] way she used to
[Bb] feel
[Eb] [F7]
VERSE 5:
She
[Bb] rushes to his
[Bbmaj7] arms they fall to-
[Eb]-gether
She
[Cm] whispers that its only for a
[F7] while
She
[Bb] says that soon she'll be
[Bbmaj7] coming back for-
[Eb]-ever
She
[Cm] pulls away and
[Eb] leaves him with a
[Bb] smile
[F7] [Bb open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[Bb] hide
[Eb/Bb] your lyin'
[Bb] eyes ^
[Eb/Bb] [Bb]
And your
[Gm] smile
[Dm] is a thin dis-
[Cm]-guise
[F7]
I thought by
[Bb] now
[Ab] you'd real-
[Eb]-ize
[C7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[Bb] eyes.
[Bbmaj7] [Eb] [Cm] [F7] [Bb]
VERSE 6:
[Bb] She gets up and
[Bbmaj7] pours herself a
[Eb] strong one
And
[Cm] stares out at the stars up in the
[F7] sky
An-
[Bb]-other night, it's
[Bbmaj7] gonna be a
[Eb] long one.
She
[Cm] draws the shade and
[Eb] hangs her head to
[Bb] cry
[Cm7] [F7]
VERSE 7:
She
[Bb] wonders how it
[Bbmaj7] ever got this
[Eb] crazy.
She
[Cm] thinks about a boy she knew in
[F7] school
Did
[Bb] she get tired or
[Bbmaj7] did she just get
[Eb] lazy?
She's
[Cm] so far gone, she
[Eb] feels just like a
[Bb] fool
VERSE 8:
[Bb] My, oh my, you
[Bbmaj7] sure know how to ar-
[Eb]-range things.
You
[Cm] set it up so well, so careful-
[F7]-ly
Ain't it
[Bb] funny how your
[Bbmaj7] new life didn't
[Eb] change things.
You're
[Cm] still the same old
[Eb] girl you used to
[Bb] be
[F7] [Bb open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[Bb] hide
[Eb/Bb] your lyin'
[Bb] eyes ^
[Eb/Bb] [Bb]
And your
[Gm] smile
[Dm] is a thin dis-
[Cm]-guise
[F7]
I thought by
[Bb] now
[Ab] you'd real-
[Eb]-ize
[C7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[Bb] eyes
[Bbmaj7]
There
[Cm] ain't no way to
[F] hide those lying
[Bb] eyes
[Bbmaj7]
[Cm] Honey you cant
[F] hide your lyin
[Bb] eyes
[Bbmaj7] [Cm] [F] [Bb open]
