Dishonest Modesty - from Another Passenger - 1976

      C7You (x32310@1)come on strong telling everyone
About your latest role
          F7How (131241@1)you saved the movie, stole the show
So you've been told

             C7And (x32310@1)if you have no time for all your offers
You'll see that I get called
            F7And (131241@1)if you have no time for all your men
You'll see that I get balled


         G7Well (320001@1)I don't expect humility
     F7But (131241@1)what about some good old 
            C7Dishonest (x32310@1)modesty

     C7You (x32310@1)say that you can understudy
All the other parts
               F7That (131241@1)you can write a song that will make us cry
And touches all our hearts
     C7And (x32310@1)you can House and Garden
Vogue and Glamour, Mademoiselle
       F7Well, (131241@1)I know you can Bitch and Screw
And Penthouse just as well

         G7No (320001@1)I don't expect humility
     F7But (131241@1)what about some good old 
            C7Dishonest (x32310@1)modesty

C7You (x32310@1)try to be unique
But somehow something's wrong
        F7Your (131241@1)flower childish vision of life
Cannot last too long
       C7You're (x32310@1)over thirty and underweight
Though you call yourself petite
F7And (131241@1)you hang around with all the clowns
Who think they're so elite


         G7Well (320001@1)I don't expect humility
     F7But (131241@1)what about some good old 
            C7Dishonest (x32310@1)modesty
         G7No (320001@1)I don't expect humility
     F7But (131241@1)what about some good old 
            C7Dishonest (x32310@1)modesty
