Lyin Eyes Chords
[G] City girls just

[Am] How to open
[G] doors with just a [D] smile
A [G] rich old man, and
[Gmaj7] she wont have to [C] worry;
Shell [Am] dress up all in
[C] lace and go in [G] style
[G] Late at night a
[Gmaj7] big old house gets [C] lonely
I guess [Am] every form of
[G] refuge has its [D] price.
And it [G] breaks her heart to
[Gmaj7] think her love is [C] only
Given [Am] to a man with
[G] hands as cold as [D] ice.
So she [G] tells him she must
[Gmaj7] go out for the [C] evening
To [Am] comfort an old
[G] friend whos feelin [D] down
But the [G] knows where shes
[Gmaj7] goin as shes [C] leavin
She is [Am] headed for the
[G] cheatin side of [D] town
You cant [G] hide your
[C] lyin [G] eyes
And your [Em] smil [Bm] e is a
[Am] thin dis [D] guise
I thought by [G] now [G7]

[D] hide your lyin [G] eyes
[G] On the other side of
[Gmaj7] town a boy is [C] waiting
with [Am] fiery eyes and
