[VERSE 1:]
There's a woman I knew
To have her D7own point of view
She Dcould have been someone soGmeday
She got a little bit of fameD7  
A bit of a name
Took Don what the sycophants Gsay
[VERSE 2:]
The Cworld's turning fast
GNothing will last
It was Bmall going on in her Dhead
Giving Emcredit that's due
Is something Amshe couldn't do
"'Cause that would Dbe dishonest", she Gsaid
[INTERLUDE:]    G     D7     D  G  
[VERSE 3:]
She was creative in part
But she D7wasn't that smart
The way she Dthought she made her own Gtools
She would not see it then
How she D7hid behind men
DAll of the guidance of Gfools

She Clived in a dream
A Ghell littered scheme
BmTrying to make silver from Dlead

And not make Ameverything late
"I can't Dbe dishonest", she Gsaid

[VERSE 5:]
When she enters a room
She spreads hD7er own sense of gloom
Though she Dsays it's someone elsGe's pain
With her heart on her sleeve
She'll D7have you believe
The way she Dsays it again and aGgain
[VERSE 6:]
She's Cwell past her youth
She can't fGace up to the truth
She Bmwon't even see it is Ddead
She does the Emtrip by herself
No help frAmom anyone else
"That would Dbe dishonest", she Gsaid
[OUTRO:]
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh D7ooooh
DOoh ooh ooh ooooh Gooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh D7ooooh
"That would Dbe dishonest", she Gsaid
