Dishonest Modesty - from Another Passenger - 1976

      C7
You come on strong telling everyone
About your latest role
          F7
How you saved the movie, stole the show
So you've been told

             C7
And if you have no time for all your offers
You'll see that I get called
            F7
And if you have no time for all your men
You'll see that I get balled


         G7
Well I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty

     C7
You say that you can understudy
All the other parts
               F7
That you can write a song that will make us cry
And touches all our hearts
     C7
And you can House and Garden
Vogue and Glamour, Mademoiselle
       F7
Well, I know you can Bitch and Screw
And Penthouse just as well

         G7
No I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty

C7
You try to be unique
But somehow something's wrong
        F7
Your flower childish vision of life
Cannot last too long
       C7
You're over thirty and underweight
Though you call yourself petite
F7
And you hang around with all the clowns
Who think they're so elite


         G7
Well I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty
         G7
No I don't expect humility
     F7
But what about some good old 
            C7
Dishonest modesty
