Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: Eb5 Ebm/C# | Bmaj Bb7

Eb                G#
If you search for tenderness,
Bb           Bb/G# Gm7
It isn’t hard to find.
G#               Cm7
You can have the love
            Dm7   Fm7 Bb Bb7
You need to live.
Eb                  Fsus4        F
But if you look for truthfulness
          Bb/F    D7/F#   Gm
You might just as well be blind;
   G#               D7
It always seems to be
   D7sus4  G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     G#maj Bb9  G/B    G7/B   Cm    Bbadd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     G#          Bb
     Everyone is so
     Bbsus4add9 Eb Ebadd9 G7 Am75- G7/B
     Untrue.
     G#maj Bb9  G/B    G7/B  Cm   Bbadd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         G#            Bb
     And mostly what I need
     Bb9  Ebsus4 Eb Bb7
     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#            Bb
     And mostly what I need
     Bb9  Ebsus4 Eb
     From you.

Instrumental: Eb Ebm/C# | Bmaj Bb7

Bridge:
 Cm
   I can find a lover
 G7add11
   I can find a friend.
 Bbm6
   I can have security
     F/A
   Until the bitter end.
 G#6          Bb      Bbadd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        G#/Eb     Eb
   With promises again,
     Fsus4   F       Bb6 Bb7
   I know, I know, I know,
   G7/B  G7 G# G#/Bb
   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#            Bb
     And mostly what I need
     Bb9  Ebsus4 Eb
     From you.
