Lyin' eyes   (midi)

 

     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.
