At the start of the chorus, for one beat of the second G chord, the note C is added at the first fret of the
B string, making the chord a Gsus4. It's hard to explain but if you listen to the song it's easy to pick up.
The G chords at the end of the verses carry on into the start of the next verse. However at the end the
verses before the chorus there is a 1 bar pause in the music, again it'll be easier to work out by listening
to the song :)
Standard tuning.

City girls jus
t seem to find
out early
How to open do
ors with just
a smile
A rich old man
and she won't
have to worry
She'll dress u
p all in lace
and go in styl
e
Late at night
a big old hous
e gets lonely
I guess every
form of refuge
has its price
And it breaks
her heart to t
hink her love
is only
Given to a man
with hands as
cold as ice
So she tells h
im she must go
out for the e
vening
To comfort an
old friend who
's feelin' dow
n
But he knows w
here she's goi
n' as she's le
avin'
She is headed
for the cheati
n' side of tow
n
You can't hide
________ your
lyin' eyes
And your smile
________ is a
thin disguise
I thought by n
ow________ you
'd realize____
____
There ain't no
way to hide y
our lyin eyes
On the other s
ide of town a
boy is waiting
with fiery eye
s and dreams n
o one could st
eal
She drives on
through the ni
ght anticipati
ng
'Cause he make
s her feel the
way she used
to feel
She rushes to
his arms; they
fall together
She whispers t
hat it's only
for awhile
She swears tha
t soon she'll
be comin' back
forever
She pulls away
and leaves hi
m with a smile
You can't hide
________ your
lyin' eyes
And your smile
________ is a
thin disguise
I thought by n
ow________ you
'd realize____
____
There ain't no
way to hide y
our lyin eyes
She gets up an
d pours hersel
f a strong one
,
And stares out
at the stars
up in the sky
Another night,
it's gonna be
a long one
She draws the
shade and hang
s her head to
cry
She wonders ho
w it ever got
this crazy
She thinks abo
ut a boy she k
new in school
Did she get ti
red or did she
just get lazy
?
She's so far g
one she feels
just like a fo
ol
My oh my, you
sure know how
to arrange thi
ngs
You set it up
so well, so ca
refully
Ain't it funny
how your new
life didn't ch
ange things?
You're still t
he same old gi
rl you used to
be
You can't hide
________ your
lyin' eyes
And your smile
________ is a
thin disguise
I thought by n
ow________ you

____
There ain't no
way to hide y
our lyin eyes
There ain't no
way to hide y
our lyin' eyes
Honey, you can
't hide your l
yin' eyes
