    The Eagles – Lyin eyes

    [Intro]
    G Gmaj7 C C Am D7 G

    [Verse]
    G Gmaj7 C
    City girls just seem to find out early,
    Am D7
    how to open doors with just a smile.
    G Gmaj7 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 Gmaj7 C
    Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
    Am D7
    I guess every form of refuge has its price.
    G Gmaj7 C
    And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
    Am C G C D
    Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.

    G Gmaj C
    So she tells him she must go out for the evening
    Am D7
    To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
    G Gmaj7 C
    But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin';
    Am C G D G
    She's headed for that cheatin' side of town.

    [Chorus]

    G C G Em Bm Am D
    You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
    G G7 C A7 Am D
    I thought by now you'd realize there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.

    G Gmaj7 C C Am D7 G

    [Verse]

    G Gmaj7 C
    On the other side of town a boy is waiting
    Am D7
    with stormy eyes and dreams no one could steal
    G Gmaj7 C
    She drives on through the night, anticipating
    Am C G C D
    Cos he makes her feel the way she used to feel
    G Gmaj C
    She rushes to his arms, they fall together
    Am D7
    She whispers that it's only for a while
    G Gmaj7 C
    She says that soon she'll be coming back forever
    Am C G D G
    She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

    [Chorus]

    G C G Em Bm Am D
    You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
    G G7 C A7 Am D7
    I thought by now you'd realize there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.

    G Gmaj7 C C Am D7 G

    [Verse]

    G Gmaj7 C
    She gets up and pours herself a strong one
    Am D7
    And stares out at the stars up in the sky.
    G Gmaj7 C
    Another night, it's gonna be a long one;
    Am C G
    She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.

    G Gmaj7 C
    And she wonders how it ever got this crazy
    Am D7
    She thinks about a boy she knew in school
    G Gmaj7 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 Gmaj7 C
    My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things;
    Am D7
    You set it up so well, so carefully.
    G Gmaj7 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 Bm Am D
    You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise.
    G G7 C A7 Am D G
    I thought by now you'd realize there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
