Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: A5 Am7 | F E7

A                 D
If you search for tenderness,
E                 C#m7
It isn’t hard to find.
D                F#m7
You can have the love
            G#m7  Bm7 E E7
You need to live.
A                   B
But if you look for truthfulness
          E       G#7     C#m
You might just as well be blind;
   D                G#7
It always seems to be
           C#7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     D     E7   C#     C#7    F#m   E
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     D           E
     Everyone is so
               A         C#7 F#m  C#7
     Untrue.
     D     E7   C#     C#7   F#m  E
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         D             E
     And mostly what I need
     E7   A         E7
     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
         D             E
     And mostly what I need
     E7   A
     From you.

Instrumental: A Am7 | F E7

Bridge:
 F#m
   I can find a lover
 C#7
   I can find a friend.
 Em
   I can have security
     B
   Until the bitter end.
 D            E
   Anyone can comfort me
        D         A
   With promises again,
     B               E  E7
   I know, I know, I know,
   C#7      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
         D             E
     And mostly what I need
     E7   A
     From you.
