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
