[Verse 1]
 
  G              G6                C
City girls just seem to find out early, 
   Am                          D7
how to open doors with just a smile.
  G            G6                      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             G6                  C
Late at night a big old house gets lonely,
  Am                                  D7
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
  G                     G6                    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                     G6                C
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
    Am                                  D7
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
    G                     G6               C
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'.
    Am                   C               G
She's headed for that cheatin' side of town.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   G            C           G   Em         C    Am         D7
You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
   G              G6      C      Am                    C                 G
I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
 
 
[Verse 2]
        G                          C
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
      Am                               D
with stormy eyes and dreams no one could steal
    G                                C
She drives on through the night anticipating
          Am                                      G
Cause she makes him feel the way she used to feel
 
     G                             C
She rushes to his arms they fall together
     Am                           D
She whispers that it's only for a while
   G                                    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            C           G   Em         C    Am         D7
You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
   G              G6      C      Am                    C                 G
I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
 
 
[Verse]
 
    G        G6                         C
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
   Am                                 D7
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
   G                  G6             C
Another night, it's gonna be a long one;
   Am                C                     G
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
 
    G                                C
And she wonders how it ever got this crazy
     Am                           D
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
      G                           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          G6                        C
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things;
    Am                          D7
You set it up so well, so carefully.
     G                   G6                       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]
 
   G            C           G   Em         C    Am         D7
You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
   G              G6      C      Am                    C                 G
I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
      Am              D               G
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Am              D               G    G Am D G
Honey you can't hide your lyin' eyes

So I love this song, but honestly it's a bit annoying that the chords are only written on some of the verses. Hard to follow the words and chords in different places.
