Lyin' eyes
G
Bm C
1. City girls just seem to find out early,
Am D
how
to open doors with just a smile.
G
Bm C
A
rich old man and she won't have to worry,
Am
C G
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
G
Bm C
2. Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
Am D
I
guess every form of refuge has its price.
G Bm C
And
it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Am C G
given to a
man with hands as cold as ice.
G Bm C
3. So she tells him she must go out for the evening,
Am D
to
comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
G Bm C
But
he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin',
Am C G
she's
headed for that cheatin' side of town.
G -
C G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes,
Em -
Bm Am
- D
and your smile is a thin disguise.
G
- G7 C - A
I thought by now you'd realize,
Am D G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
G
Bm C
4.On the other side of town a boy is waiting,
Am D
with stormy eyes and dreams no-one could steal.
G Bm C
She
drives on through the night anticipating,
Am C G
- C-D
'cos it
makes him feel the way she used to feel.
G
Bm C
5. She rushes to his arms, they fall together,
Am D
she
whispers that its only for a while.
G
Bm C
She
says that soon she'll be coming back forever,
Am
C G
she pulls
away and leaves him with a smile. + CHORUS
G
Bm C
6. She gets up and pours herself a strong one,
Am D
and
stares out at the stars up in the sky.
G
Bm C
Another night, it's gonna be a long one,
Am C G
she draws
the shade and hangs her head to cry.
G Bm C
7. And she wonders how it ever got this crazy,
Am
D
she
thinks about a boy she knew in school
G
Bm C
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy,
Am C G
She's so
far gone, she feels just like a fool.
G
Bm C
8. My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange
things,
Am D
you
set it up so well, so carefully.
G Bm C
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things,
Am C G
you're
still the same old girl you used to be.
+ CHORUS
Am D G -
D
+ there
aint no way to hide your lyin' eyes,
Am
D G
honey, you cant hide your lyin' eyes.
