Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: D5 Dm/C | Bbmaj A7

D                 G
If you search for tenderness,
A            A/G  F#m7
It isn’t hard to find.
G                Bm7
You can have the love
            C#m7  Em7 A A7
You need to live.
D                   Esus4        E
But if you look for truthfulness
          A/E     C#7/F   F#m
You might just as well be blind;
   G                C#7
It always seems to be
   C#7sus4 F#7sus4 F#7 F#7sus4 F#7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Gmaj  A9   F#/Bb  F#7/Bb Bm    Aadd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     G           A
     Everyone is so
     Asus4add9 D  Dadd9  F#7 G#m75- F#7/Bb
     Untrue.
     Gmaj  A9   F#/Bb  F#7/Bb Bm  Aadd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         G             A
     And mostly what I need
     A9   Dsus4  D  A7
     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
         G             A
     And mostly what I need
     A9   Dsus4  D
     From you.

Instrumental: D Dm/C | Bbmaj A7

Bridge:
 Bm
   I can find a lover
 F#7add11
   I can find a friend.
 Am6
   I can have security
     E/G#
   Until the bitter end.
 G6           A       Aadd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        G/D       D
   With promises again,
     Esus4   E       A6 A7
   I know, I know, I know,
   F#7/Bb F#7 G G/A
   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
         G             A
     And mostly what I need
     A9   Dsus4  D
     From you.

Instrumental: D Dm/C | Bbmaj A7
