Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: C5 Cm7 | G#maj G7

C                 F
If you search for tenderness,
G                 Em7
It isn’t hard to find.
F                Am7
You can have the love
            Bm7   Dm7 G G7
You need to live.
C                   Dsus4        D
But if you look for truthfulness
          G       B7      Em
You might just as well be blind;
   F                B7
It always seems to be
   B7sus4  E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Fmaj  G7   E      E7     Am    Gadd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     F           G
     Everyone is so
     Gsus4add9 C  Cadd9  E7 F#m75- E7  
     Untrue.
     Fmaj  G7   E      E7    Am   Gadd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         F             G
     And mostly what I need
     G7   Csus4  C  G7
     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
         F             G
     And mostly what I need
     G7   Csus4  C
     From you.

Instrumental: C Cm7 | G#maj G7

Bridge:
 Am
   I can find a lover
 E7     
   I can find a friend.
 Gm6
   I can have security
     D  
   Until the bitter end.
 F6           G       Gadd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        F         C
   With promises again,
     Dsus4   D       G6 G7
   I know, I know, I know,
   E7       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
         F             G
     And mostly what I need
     G7   Csus4  C
     From you.
