Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: B5 Bm/A | Gmaj F#7

B                 E
If you search for tenderness,
F#           F#/E Ebm7
It isn’t hard to find.
E                G#m7
You can have the love
            Bbm7  C#m7 F# F#7
You need to live.
B                   C#sus4       C#
But if you look for truthfulness
          F#/C#   Bb7/D   Ebm
You might just as well be blind;
   E                Bb7
It always seems to be
   Bb7sus4 Eb7sus4 Eb7 Eb7sus4 Eb7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Emaj  F#9  Eb/G   Eb7/G  G#m   F#add9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     E           F#
     Everyone is so
     F#sus4add9 B Badd9  Eb7 Fm75- Eb7/G
     Untrue.
     Emaj  F#9  Eb/G   Eb7/G G#m  F#add9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         E             F#
     And mostly what I need
     F#9  Bsus4  B  F#7
     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
         E             F#
     And mostly what I need
     F#9  Bsus4  B
     From you.

Instrumental: B Bm/A | Gmaj F#7

Bridge:
 G#m
   I can find a lover
 Eb7add11
   I can find a friend.
 F#m6
   I can have security
     C#/F
   Until the bitter end.
 E6           F#      F#add9
   Anyone can comfort me
        E/B       B
   With promises again,
     C#sus4  C#      F#6 F#7
   I know, I know, I know,
   Eb7/G Eb7 E E/F#
   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
         E             F#
     And mostly what I need
     F#9  Bsus4  B
     From you.

Instrumental: B Bm/A | Gmaj F#7
