INTRO: [B] [Bmaj7] [E] [C#m] [F#7] [B]
VERSE 1:
[B] City girls just
[Bmaj7] seem to find out
[E] early,
[C#m] how to open doors with just a
[F#] smile
A
[B] rich old man and
[Bmaj7] she won't have to
[E] worry
She'll
[C#m] dress up all in
[E] lace and go in
[B] style
VERSE 2:
[B] Late at night, a
[Bmaj7] big old house gets
[E] lonely,
I guess
[C#m] every form of refuge has its
[F#] price
And it
[B] breaks her heart to
[Bmaj7] think her love is
[E] only
Given
[C#m] to a man with
[E] hands as cold as
[B] ice
[C#m7] [F#7]
VERSE 3:
So she
[B] tells him she must
[Bmaj7] go out for the
[E] evening
To
[C#m] comfort an old friend who's feeling
[F#] down
But he
[B] knows where she's
[Bmaj7] goin' as she's
[E] leavin'.
She's
[C#m] headed for the
[E] cheatin' side of
[B] town
[F#7] [B open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[B] hide
[E/B] your lyin'
[B] eyes ^
[E/B] [B]
And your
[G#m] smile
[D#m] is a thin dis-
[C#m]-guise
[F#7]
I thought by
[B] now
[A] you'd real-
[E]-ize
[C#7]
There
[C#m] ain't no way to
[F#] hide those lying
[B] eyes.
[Bmaj7] [E] [C#m] [F#7] [B]
VERSE 4:
On the
[B] other side of
[Bmaj7] town a boy is
[E] waiting
with
[C#m] firey eyes and dreams no one could
[F#] steal
She
[B] drives on through the
[Bmaj7] night antici-
[E]-pating
Cause he
[C#m] makes her feel the
[E] way she used to
[B] feel
[E] [F#7]
VERSE 5:
She
[B] rushes to his
[Bmaj7] arms they fall to-
[E]-gether
She
[C#m] whispers that its only for a
[F#7] while
She
[B] says that soon she'll be
[Bmaj7] coming back for-
[E]-ever
She
[C#m] pulls away and
[E] leaves him with a
[B] smile
[F#7] [B open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[B] hide
[E/B] your lyin'
[B] eyes ^
[E/B] [B]
And your
[G#m] smile
[D#m] is a thin dis-
[C#m]-guise
[F#7]
I thought by
[B] now
[A] you'd real-
[E]-ize
[C#7]
There
[C#m] ain't no way to
[F#] hide those lying
[B] eyes.
[Bmaj7] [E] [C#m] [F#7] [B]
VERSE 6:
[B] She gets up and
[Bmaj7] pours herself a
[E] strong one
And
[C#m] stares out at the stars up in the
[F#7] sky
An-
[B]-other night, it's
[Bmaj7] gonna be a
[E] long one.
She
[C#m] draws the shade and
[E] hangs her head to
[B] cry
[C#m7] [F#7]
VERSE 7:
She
[B] wonders how it
[Bmaj7] ever got this
[E] crazy.
She
[C#m] thinks about a boy she knew in
[F#7] school
Did
[B] she get tired or
[Bmaj7] did she just get
[E] lazy?
She's
[C#m] so far gone, she
[E] feels just like a
[B] fool
VERSE 8:
[B] My, oh my, you
[Bmaj7] sure know how to ar-
[E]-range things.
You
[C#m] set it up so well, so careful-
[F#7]-ly
Ain't it
[B] funny how your
[Bmaj7] new life didn't
[E] change things.
You're
[C#m] still the same old
[E] girl you used to
[B] be
[F#7] [B open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[B] hide
[E/B] your lyin'
[B] eyes ^
[E/B] [B]
And your
[G#m] smile
[D#m] is a thin dis-
[C#m]-guise
[F#7]
I thought by
[B] now
[A] you'd real-
[E]-ize
[C#7]
There
[C#m] ain't no way to
[F#] hide those lying
[B] eyes
[Bmaj7]
There
[C#m] ain't no way to
[F#] hide those lying
[B] eyes
[Bmaj7]
[C#m] Honey you cant
[F#] hide your lyin
[B] eyes
[Bmaj7] [C#m] [F#] [B open]
