Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: C#5 C#m7 | A G#7

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

Chorus:
     F#    G#7  F      F7     Bbm   G#
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     F#          G#
     Everyone is so
               C#        F7 Bbm   F7
     Untrue.
     F#    G#7  F      F7    Bbm  G#
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         F#            G#
     And mostly what I need
     G#7  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#7  C#
     From you.

Instrumental: C# C#m7 | A G#7

Bridge:
 Bbm
   I can find a lover
 F7
   I can find a friend.
 G#m
   I can have security
     Eb
   Until the bitter end.
 F#           G#
   Anyone can comfort me
        F#        C#
   With promises again,
     Eb              G# G#7
   I know, I know, I know,
   F7       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
         F#            G#
     And mostly what I need
     G#7  C#
     From you.

Instrumental: C# C#m7 | A G#7
