Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: G5 Gm/F | Ebmaj D7

G                 C
If you search for tenderness,
D            D/C  Bm7
It isn’t hard to find.
C                Em7
You can have the love
            F#m7  Am7 D D7
You need to live.
G                   Asus4        A
But if you look for truthfulness
          D/A     F#7/Bb  Bm
You might just as well be blind;
   C                F#7
It always seems to be
   F#7sus4 B7sus4 B7 B7sus4 B7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Cmaj  D9   B/Eb   B7/Eb  Em    Dadd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     C           D
     Everyone is so
     Dsus4add9 G  Gadd9  B7 C#m75- B7/Eb
     Untrue.
     Cmaj  D9   B/Eb   B7/Eb Em   Dadd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         C             D
     And mostly what I need
     D9   Gsus4  G  D7
     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
         C             D
     And mostly what I need
     D9   Gsus4  G
     From you.

Instrumental: G Gm/F | Ebmaj D7

Bridge:
 Em
   I can find a lover
 B7add11
   I can find a friend.
 Dm6
   I can have security
     A/C#
   Until the bitter end.
 C6           D       Dadd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        C/G       G
   With promises again,
     Asus4   A       D6 D7
   I know, I know, I know,
   B7/Eb B7 C  C/D
   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
         C             D
     And mostly what I need
     D9   Gsus4  G
     From you.

Instrumental: G Gm/F | Ebmaj D7
