Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: F5 Fm7 | C#maj C7

F                 Bb
If you search for tenderness,
C                 Am7
It isn’t hard to find.
Bb               Dm7
You can have the love
            Em7   Gm7 C C7
You need to live.
F                   Gsus4        G
But if you look for truthfulness
          C       E7      Am
You might just as well be blind;
   Bb               E7
It always seems to be
   E7sus4  A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Bbmaj C7   A      A7     Dm    Cadd9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     Bb          C
     Everyone is so
     Csus4add9 F  Fadd9  A7 Bm75- A7   
     Untrue.
     Bbmaj C7   A      A7    Dm   Cadd9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         Bb            C
     And mostly what I need
     C7   Fsus4  F  C7
     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
         Bb            C
     And mostly what I need
     C7   Fsus4  F
     From you.

Instrumental: F Fm7 | C#maj C7

Bridge:
 Dm
   I can find a lover
 A7     
   I can find a friend.
 Cm6
   I can have security
     G  
   Until the bitter end.
 Bb6          C       Cadd9
   Anyone can comfort me
        Bb        F
   With promises again,
     Gsus4   G       C6 C7
   I know, I know, I know,
   A7       Bb     
   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
         Bb            C
     And mostly what I need
     C7   Fsus4  F
     From you.
