Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: C#5 C#m/B | Amaj G#7

C#                F#
If you search for tenderness,
G#           G#/F# Fm7
It isn’t hard to find.
F#               Bbm7
You can have the love
            Cm7   Ebm7 G# G#7
You need to live.
C#                  Ebsus4       Eb
But if you look for truthfulness
          G#/Eb   C7/E    Fm
You might just as well be blind;
   F#               C7
It always seems to be
   C7sus4  F7sus4 F7 F7sus4 F7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     F#maj G#9  F/A    F7/A   Bbm   G#add9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     F#          G#
     Everyone is so
     G#sus4add9 C# C#add9 F7 Gm75- F7/A
     Untrue.
     F#maj G#9  F/A    F7/A  Bbm  G#add9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         F#            G#
     And mostly what I need
     G#9  C#sus4 C# G#7
     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
         F#            G#
     And mostly what I need
     G#9  C#sus4 C#
     From you.

Instrumental: C# C#m/B | Amaj G#7

Bridge:
 Bbm
   I can find a lover
 F7add11
   I can find a friend.
 G#m6
   I can have security
     Eb/G
   Until the bitter end.
 F#6          G#      G#add9
   Anyone can comfort me
        F#/C#     C#
   With promises again,
     Ebsus4  Eb      G#6 G#7
   I know, I know, I know,
   F7/A  F7 F# F#/G#
   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
         F#            G#
     And mostly what I need
     G#9  C#sus4 C#
     From you.

Instrumental: C# C#m/B | Amaj G#7
