Lyin Eyes

G        | C        | D        | G        |
G        | C        | D        | G        ||

[Verse 1]
G                                C
City girls just seem to find out early
D                             G
how to open doors with just a smile.
  G                                  C
A rich old man and she won't have to worry,
       D                              G
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.

[Verse 2]
    G                                  C
But late at night a big old house gets lonely,
        D                            G
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
       G                                     C
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
      D                              G
given to a man with hands as cold as ice.

[Verse 3]
    G                                 C
She tells him she must go out for the evening
   D                                   G
to comfort an old friend who's feelin' down.
    G                                   C
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin',
       D                               G
she is headed for the cheatin' side of town.

[Chorus]
          C               G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
         D                  G
and your smile is a thin disguise.
             C            G
I thought by now you'd realize,
      D                               G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

[Verse 4]
       G                           C
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
     D                                  G
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal.
    G                                 C
She drives on through the night anticipating
          D                                  G
'cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel.

[Verse 5]
    G                               C
She rushes to his arms, they fall together,
    D                            G
she whispers that it's only for awhile.
    G                                         C
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever,
    D                                G
she pulls away and leaves him with a smile.

[Chorus]
          C               G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
         D                  G
and your smile is a thin disguise.
             C            G
I thought by now you'd realize,
      D                               G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

[Verse 6]
G                               C
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
    D                                 G
and stares out at the stars up in the sky.
  G                            C
Another night, it's gonna be a long one,
    D                                     G
she draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.

[Verse 7]
    G                            C
She wonders how it ever got this crazy,
    D                              G
she thinks about a boy she knew in school.
    G                                 C
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
      D                                 G
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool.

[Verse 8]
       G                                C
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things,
    D                            G
you set it up so well, so carefully.
         G                              C
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things,
       D                                   G
you're still the same old girl you used to be.

[End-Chorus]
          C               G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
         D                  G
and your smile is a thin disguise.
             C            G
I thought by now you'd realize,
      D                               G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
          C               G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
         D                  G
and your smile is a thin disguise.
             C            G
I thought by now you'd realize,
      D                               G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
