Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: G#5 G#m/F# | Emaj Eb7

G#                C#
If you search for tenderness,
Eb           Eb/C# Cm7
It isn’t hard to find.
C#               Fm7
You can have the love
            Gm7   Bbm7 Eb Eb7
You need to live.
G#                  Bbsus4       Bb
But if you look for truthfulness
          Eb/Bb   G7/B    Cm
You might just as well be blind;
   C#               G7
It always seems to be
   G7sus4  C7sus4 C7 C7sus4 C7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     C#maj Eb9  C/E    C7/E   Fm    Ebadd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     C#          Eb
     Everyone is so
     Ebsus4add9 G# G#add9 C7 Dm75- C7/E
     Untrue.
     C#maj Eb9  C/E    C7/E  Fm   Ebadd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         C#            Eb
     And mostly what I need
     Eb9  G#sus4 G# Eb7
     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#            Eb
     And mostly what I need
     Eb9  G#sus4 G#
     From you.

Instrumental: G# G#m/F# | Emaj Eb7

Bridge:
 Fm
   I can find a lover
 C7add11
   I can find a friend.
 Ebm6
   I can have security
     Bb/D
   Until the bitter end.
 C#6          Eb      Ebadd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        C#/G#     G#
   With promises again,
     Bbsus4  Bb      Eb6 Eb7
   I know, I know, I know,
   C7/E  C7 C# C#/Eb
   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#            Eb
     And mostly what I need
     Eb9  G#sus4 G#
     From you.

Instrumental: G# G#m/F# | Emaj Eb7
