Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: F#5 F#m7 | Dmaj C#7

F#                B
If you search for tenderness,
C#                Bbm7
It isn’t hard to find.
B                Ebm7
You can have the love
            Fm7   G#m7 C# C#7
You need to live.
F#                  G#sus4       G#
But if you look for truthfulness
          C#      F7      Bbm
You might just as well be blind;
   B                F7
It always seems to be
   F7sus4  Bb7sus4 Bb7 Bb7sus4 Bb7
So hard to give.

Chorus:
     Bmaj  C#7  Bb     Bb7    Ebm   C#add9
     Honesty is such a lonely word.
     B           C#
     Everyone is so
     C#sus4add9 F# F#add9 Bb7 Cm75- Bb7 
     Untrue.
     Bmaj  C#7  Bb     Bb7   Ebm  C#add9
     Honesty is hardly ever heard
         B             C#
     And mostly what I need
     C#7  F#sus4 F# C#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
         B             C#
     And mostly what I need
     C#7  F#sus4 F#
     From you.

Instrumental: F# F#m7 | Dmaj C#7

Bridge:
 Ebm
   I can find a lover
 Bb7    
   I can find a friend.
 C#m6
   I can have security
     G# 
   Until the bitter end.
 B6           C#      C#add9
   Anyone can comfort me
        B         F#
   With promises again,
     G#sus4  G#      C#6 C#7
   I know, I know, I know,
   Bb7      B      
   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
         B             C#
     And mostly what I need
     C#7  F#sus4 F#
     From you.

Instrumental: F# F#m7 | Dmaj C#7
