Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: A5 Am/G | Fmaj E7

A                 D
If you search for tenderness,
E            E/D  C#m7
It isn’t hard to find.
D                F#m7
You can have the love
            G#m7  Bm7 E E7
You need to live.
A                   Bsus4        B
But if you look for truthfulness
          E/B     G#7/C   C#m
You might just as well be blind;
   D                G#7
It always seems to be
   G#7sus4 C#7sus4 C#7 C#7sus4 C#7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Dmaj  E9   C#/F   C#7/F  F#m   Eadd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     D           E
     Everyone is so
     Esus4add9 A  Aadd9  C#7 Ebm75- C#7/F
     Untrue.
     Dmaj  E9   C#/F   C#7/F F#m  Eadd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         D             E
     And mostly what I need
     E9   Asus4  A  E7
     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
         D             E
     And mostly what I need
     E9   Asus4  A
     From you.

Instrumental: A Am/G | Fmaj E7

Bridge:
 F#m
   I can find a lover
 C#7add11
   I can find a friend.
 Em6
   I can have security
     B/Eb
   Until the bitter end.
 D6           E       Eadd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        D/A       A
   With promises again,
     Bsus4   B       E6 E7
   I know, I know, I know,
   C#7/F C#7 D D/E
   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
         D             E
     And mostly what I need
     E9   Asus4  A
     From you.
