Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel
Intro: Bb5 Bbm/Ab | Gbmaj F7
Bb Eb
If you search for tenderness,
F F/Eb Dm7
It isn’t hard to find.
Eb Gm7 Am7 Cm7 F F7
You can have the love you need to live.
Bb Csus4 C
But if you look for truthfulness
F/C A7/C# Dm
You might just as well be blind;
Eb A7 A7sus4 D7sus4 D7 D7sus4 D7
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Chorus:
Ebmaj F9 D/F# D7/F# Gm Fadd9
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Eb F Fsus4add9 Bb Bbadd9 D7 Em75- D7/F#
Everyone is so untrue.
Ebmaj F9 D/F# D7/F# Gm Fadd9
Honesty is hardly ever heard
Eb F F9 Bbsus4 Bb F7
And mostly what I need from you.
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don’t want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
Chorus:
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard
Eb F F9 Bbsus4 Bb
And mostly what I need from you.
Instrumental: Bb Bbm/Ab | Gbmaj F7
Bridge:
Gm
I can find a lover
D7add11
I can find a friend.
Fm6
I can have security
C/E
Until the bitter end.
Eb6 F Fadd9
Anyone can comfort me
Eb/Bb Bb
With promises again,
Csus4 C F6 F7
I know, I know, I know,
D7/F# D7 Eb Eb/F
Whoa, whoa.
When I’m deep inside of me
Don’t be too concerned,
I won’t ask for nothing while I’m gone.
But when I want sincerity,
Tell me, where else can I turn
Because you’re the one that I depend upon.
Chorus:
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard
Eb F F9 Bbsus4 Bb
And mostly what I need from you.
