[Verse]
B Bmaj7 E
City girls just seem to find out early,
C#m F#7
how to open doors with just a smile.
B Bmaj7 E
C# rich old man and she won't have to worry;
C#m E B
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
B Bmaj7 E
Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
C#m F#7
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
B Bmaj7 E
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
C#m E B E F#
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
B Bmaj7 E
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
C#m F#7
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
B Bmaj7 E
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin';
C#m E B E B
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town.
[Chorus]
B E B E B G#m D#m C#m F#
You can't hi- ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi - ile is a thin disguise.
B A/B E C#7 C#m F# B
I thought by no - ow you'd rea-li - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
[Interlude]

[Verse]
B Bmaj7 E
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
C#m F#7
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
B Bmaj7 E
She drives on through the night, antici-pating
C#m E B E F#
Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel
B Bmaj7 E
She rushes to his arms, they fall to-gether
C#m F#7
She whispers that it's only for a while
B Bmaj7 E
She swears that soon she'll be coming back for-ever
C#m E B
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
[Chorus]
B E B E B G#m D#m C#m F#
You can't hi- ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi-i-ile is a thin disguise.
B A/B E C#7 C#m F# B
I thought by no - ow you'd rea-li - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

(B) Gmaj7 E C#m F#7 B
[Verse]
B Bmaj7 E
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
C#m F#7
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
B Bmaj7 E
Another night, it's gonna be a long one;
C#m E B E F#
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
B Bmaj7 E
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
C#m F#7
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
B Bmaj7 E
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
C#m E B E F#
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
B Bmaj7 E
My, oh my, you sure know how to ar-range things;
C#m F#7
You set it up so well, so careful-ly.
B Bmaj7 E
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things;
C#m E B E B
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
[Chorus]
B E B E B G#m D#m C#m F#
You can't hi- ide your lyin' eyes, and your smi-i- ile is a thin dis-guise.
B A/B E C#7 C#m F# B
I thought by no - ow you'd rea-li - ize there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
Bmaj7 C#m F# B
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Bmaj7 C#m F# B
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.
