{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[G]city girls just [GM7]seem to find out [C]early
[Am7]how to open doors with just a [D7]smile
a [G]rich old man and [GM7]she won't have to [C]worry
she'll [Am7]dress up all in [C]lace and go in [G]style
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
[G]late at night a [GM7]big old house gets [C]lonely
I guess [Am7]every form of refuge has its [D7]price
and it [G]breaks her heart to [GM7]think her love is only
given [Am7]to a man with [C]hands as cold as [G]ice [C] [D7]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 3}
so she [G]tells him she must [GM7]go out for the [C]evening
to [Am7]comfort an old friend who's feelin' [D7]down
but [G]he knows where she's [GM7]goin' as she's [C]leavin'
she is [Am7]headed for the [C]cheatin' side of [G]town [D] [-] [G]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
you can't [G]hide [C/G] your lyin' [G]eyes
and your [Em7]smile [Bm7] is a thin dis[Am7]guise [D7]
I thought by [G]now [F/G] you'd rea[C]lize [A7]
there [Am7]ain't no way to [D7]hide your lyin' [G]eyes

{start_of_verse: Verse 4}
on the [G]other side of [GM7]town a boy is [C]waiting
with [Am7]fiery eyes and dreams no one could [D7]steal
she [G]drives on through the [GM7]night antici[C]pating
'cause he [Am7]makes her feel the [C]way she used to [G]feel [C] [D7]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 5}
she [G]rushes to his [GM7]arms, they fall to[C]gether
she [Am7]whispers that it's only for a [D7]while
she [G]swears that soon she'll be [GM7]comin' back for[C]ever
she [Am7]pulls away and [C]leaves him with a [G]smile [D] [-] [G]

{start_of_verse: Verse 6}
[G]she gets up and [GM7]pours herself a [C]strong one
and [Am7]stares out at the stars up in the [D7]sky
an[G]other night, it's [GM7]gonna be a [C]long one
she [Am7]draws the shade and [C]hangs her head to [G]cry [C] [D7]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 7}
she [G]wonders how it [GM7]ever got this [C]crazy
she [Am7]thinks about a boy she knew in [D7]school
did [G]she get tired or [GM7]did she just get [C]lazy?
she's [Am7]so far gone she [C]feels just like a [G]fool
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 8}
[G]my, oh my, you [GM7]sure know how to ar[C]range things
you [Am7]set it up so well, so careful[D7]ly
ain't it [G]funny how your [GM7]new life didn't [C]change things
you're [Am7]still the same old [C]girl you used to [G]be [D] [-] [G]
{end_of_verse}
