Lying Eyes The Eagles # 016 - 5
City girls just seem to
find out early,
how to open doors with
just a smile.
G Gmaj7 Em
A rich old
man and she won't have to worry;
she'll dress up all in
lace and go in style.
G Gmaj7 Em
Late at night a big old
house gets lonely;
I guess every
form of refuge has its price.
G Gmaj7 Em
And it breaks her heart
to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands
as cold as ice.
G Gmaj Em
So she tells him she must
go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend
who's feeling down.
G
Gmaj7 Em
But he knows
where she's goin' as she's leavin';
Am D7 G C
G C G C G
She's headed for that
cheatin' side of town.
G C G C G Em Am D
You can't hide your lyin' eyes, and your
smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now you'd
realize there ain't no way to hide those lying eyes.
On the other side of town
a boy is waiting
Am D
with stormy eyes and
dreams no-one could steal
She drives on throught
the night anticipating
Am D G
Cos he makes her feel the
way she used to feel
# 016 - 5
She rushes to his arms
they fall together
She whispers that its only for a while
She says that soon she'll
be coming back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
Chorus
G Gmaj7 Em
She gets up and pours
herself a strong one
And stares out at the
stars up in the sky.
G Gmaj7 Em
Another night, it's gonna
be a long one;
She draws the shade and
hangs her head to cry.
G Gmaj7 Em
And she wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
G Gmaj7 Em
Did she get tired or did
she just get lazy
She's so far gone, she
feels just like a fool
G Gmaj7 Em
My, oh my, you sure know
how to arrange things;
Am D7
You set it up so well, so
carefully.
Ain't it
funny how your new life didn't change things;
Am D G C
G C G C G
You're still the same old
girl you used to be.
There aint no way to hide
your lyin eyes
Honey you cant hide your
lyin eyes
