Introduction:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Interlude
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.
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.

Interlude
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.
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.
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.
C G
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
D G
and your smile is a thin disguise.
