[Intro]
[G] [Gmaj7] [C] [Am] [D7] [G]
[Verse]
[G]City girls just [Gmaj7]seem to find out [C]early,
[Am]how to open doors with just a [D7]smile.
A [G]rich old man and [Gmaj7]she won't have to [C]worry;
she'll [Am]dress up all in [C]lace and go in [G]style.
 
[G]Late at night a [Gmaj7]big old house gets [C]lonely;
I [Am]guess every form of refuge has its [D7]price.
[G]And it breaks her heart to [Gmaj7]think her love is [C]only
Given [Am]to a man with [C]hands as cold as [G]ice. [C] [D]
 
So she [G]tells him she must [Gmaj]go out for the [C]evening
To c[Am]comfort an old friend who's feeling [D7]down.
But [G]he knows where she's [Gmaj7]goin' as she's [C]leavin';
She's [Am]headed for the [C]cheatin' side of [G]town.
 
[Chorus]
You can't [G]hide[C]hide your lyin' [G]eyes, and your [Em]smile[Bm] is a thin dis[Am]guise. [D]
I thought by [G]now[G7] you'd real[C]ize[A7] there a[Am]in't no way to h[D]ide your lying e[G]yes.
 
[Interlude]
[(G)] [Gmaj7] [C] [Am] [D7] [G]
[Verse]
On the [G]other side of t[Gmaj7]town a boy is w[C]waiting
with [Am]fiery eyes and dreams no one could [D7]steal
She [G]drives on through the [Gmaj7]night, anticip[C]anticipating
Cos he [Am]makes her feel the [C]way she used to [G]feel [C] [D]
 
She [G]rushes to his [Gmaj7]arms, they fall to[C]together
She [Am]whispers that it's only for a [D7]while
She [G]swears that soon she'll be [Gmaj7]coming back for[C]forever
She [Am]pulls away and [C]leaves him with a sm[G]smile
 
[Chorus]
You can't [G]hide[C]hide your lyin' [G]eyes, and your [Em]smile[Bm] is a thin dis[Am]guise. [D]
I thought by [G]now[G7] you'd real[C]ize[A7] there a[Am]in't no way to h[D7]ide your lying e[G]yes.
 
[Interlude]
[(G)] [Gmaj7] [C] [Am] [D7] [G]
[Verse]
[G]She gets up and [Gmaj7]pours herself a s[C]strong one
And [Am]stares out at the stars up in the [D7]sky.
A[G]Another night, it's [Gmaj7]gonna be a l[C]long one;
She [Am]draws the shade and [C]hangs her head to c[G]cry.
 
She [G]wonders how it [Gmaj7]ever got this c[C]crazy
She [Am]thinks about a boy she knew in sc[D7]school
Did [G]she get tired or [Gmaj7]did she just get [C]lazy
She's [Am]so far gone, she [C]feels just like a [G]fool
 
[G]My, oh my, you [Gmaj7]sure know how to ar[C]arrange things;
You [Am]set it up so well, so careful[D7]carefully.
Ain't it [G]funny how your [Gmaj7]new life didn't c[C]change things;
You're [Am]still the same old [C]girl you used to [G]be.
 
[Chorus]
You can't h[G]hide [C]your lyin' e[G]yes, and your s[Em]mile [Bm]is a thin disg[Am]uise. [D]
I thought by [G]now[G7] you'd real[C]ize[A7] there a[Am]in't no way to h[D]ide your lying e[G]yes.
[Gmaj7] There a[Am]in't no way to h[D]ide your lyin' e[G]yes
[Gmaj7] H[Am]oney, you can't h[D]ide your lyin' e[G]yes.
 
[Outro]
[(G)] [Gmaj7] [Am] [D] [G]
