Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: E5 Em/D | Cmaj B7

E                 A
If you search for tenderness,
B            B/A  G#m7
It isn’t hard to find.
A                C#m7
You can have the love
            Ebm7  F#m7 B B7
You need to live.
E                   F#sus4       F#
But if you look for truthfulness
          B/F#    Eb7/G   G#m
You might just as well be blind;
   A                Eb7
It always seems to be
   Eb7sus4 G#7sus4 G#7 G#7sus4 G#7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Amaj  B9   G#/C   G#7/C  C#m   Badd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     A           B
     Everyone is so
     Bsus4add9 E  Eadd9  G#7 Bbm75- G#7/C
     Untrue.
     Amaj  B9   G#/C   G#7/C C#m  Badd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         A             B
     And mostly what I need
     B9   Esus4  E  B7
     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
         A             B
     And mostly what I need
     B9   Esus4  E
     From you.

Instrumental: E Em/D | Cmaj B7

Bridge:
 C#m
   I can find a lover
 G#7add11
   I can find a friend.
 Bm6
   I can have security
     F#/Bb
   Until the bitter end.
 A6           B       Badd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        A/E       E
   With promises again,
     F#sus4  F#      B6 B7
   I know, I know, I know,
   G#7/C G#7 A A/B
   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
         A             B
     And mostly what I need
     B9   Esus4  E
     From you.
