Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: B5 Bm7 | G F#7

B                 E
If you search for tenderness,
F#                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#
But if you look for truthfulness
          F#      Bb7     Ebm
You might just as well be blind;
   E                Bb7
It always seems to be
           Eb7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     E     F#7  Eb     Eb7    G#m   F#
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     E           F#
     Everyone is so
               B         Eb7 G#m  Eb7
     Untrue.
     E     F#7  Eb     Eb7   G#m  F#
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         E             F#
     And mostly what I need
     F#7  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#7  B
     From you.

Instrumental: B Bm7 | G F#7

Bridge:
 G#m
   I can find a lover
 Eb7
   I can find a friend.
 F#m
   I can have security
     C#
   Until the bitter end.
 E            F#
   Anyone can comfort me
        E         B
   With promises again,
     C#              F# F#7
   I know, I know, I know,
   Eb7      E
   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#7  B
     From you.

Instrumental: B Bm7 | G F#7
