[Verse]
G# G#maj7 C#
City girls just seem to find out early,
A#m D#7
how to open doors with just a smile.
G# G#maj7 C#
A# rich old man and she won't have to worry;
A#m C# G#
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
G# G#maj7 C#
Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
A#m D#7
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
G# G#maj7 C#
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
A#m C# G# C# D#
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
G# G#maj7 C#
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
A#m D#7
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
G# G#maj7 C#
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin';
A#m C# G# C# G#
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town.
[Chorus]
G# C# G# C# G# Fm Cm A#m D#
You can't hi- ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile is a thin disguise.
G# F#/G# C# A#7 A#m D# G#
I thought by no - ow you'd rea-li - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Interlude]

[Verse]
G# G#maj7 C#
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
A#m D#7
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
G# G#maj7 C#
She drives on through the night, antici-pating
A#m C# G# C# D#
Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel
G# G#maj7 C#
She rushes to his arms, they fall to-gether
A#m D#7
She whispers that it's only for a while
G# G#maj7 C#
She swears that soon she'll be coming back for-ever
A#m C# G#
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
[Chorus]
G# C# G# C# G# Fm Cm A#m D#
You can't hi- ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi-i-ile is a thin disguise.
G# F#/G# C# A#7 A#m D# G#
I thought by no - ow you'd rea-li - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Interlude]
(G#) Gmaj7 C# A#m D#7 G#
[Verse]
G# G#maj7 C#
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
A#m D#7
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
G# G#maj7 C#
Another night, it's gonna be a long one;
A#m C# G# C# D#
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
G# G#maj7 C#
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
A#m D#7
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
G# G#maj7 C#
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
A#m C# G# C# D#
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
G# G#maj7 C#
My, oh my, you sure know how to ar-range things;
A#m D#7
You set it up so well, so careful-ly.
G# G#maj7 C#
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things;
A#m C# G# C# G#
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
[Chorus]
G# C# G# C# G# Fm Cm A#m D#
You can't hi- ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi-i- ile is a thin dis-guise.
G# F#/G# C# A#7 A#m D# G#
I thought by no - ow you'd rea-li - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
G#maj7 A#m D# G#
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
G#maj7 A#m D# G#
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.
