City girls just seem to find out early
Dm G7
How to open doors with just a smile

A rich old man and she won't have to worry
Dm F C
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
Dm G7
I guess every form of refuge has its price

And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Dm F C
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening

To comfort an old friend who's feeling down

But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Am Em Dm G7
And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
Dm G7
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal

She drives on through the night anticipating
Dm F C
Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She gets up and pours herself a small one
Dm G7
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
C F
Another night it's gonna be a long one
Dm F C
She fought the day and hangs her head and cries
F
You wonder how it ever got this crazy

She thinks about a boy she knew in school

Did she get tired or did she just get lazy
Dm F C
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
