Billy Joel

Honesty

----------



A#-A#m-F#7+-F7



A# D# F Dm7

If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find

D# Gm Am Cm7-F-F7

You can have the love you need to live

A# C F D

And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind

D# A D

It always seems to be so hard to give
D#7+ F7 D Gm7 F

Honest- y is such a lonely word

D# F A# D

Everyone is so untrue

D#7+ F7 D Gm7

Honest- y is hardly ever heard

D# F A# F9sus

But mostly what I need from you



[end chorus]

A# D# F Dm7

I can always find someone to say they sympathize

D# Gm Am Cm7-F-F7

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

A# C F D

But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies

D# A D

All I want is someone to believe



[repeat chorus]

Gm D

I can find a lover, I can find a friend

F7 C

I can have security until the bitter end

D# F F7 D# A#

Anyone can comfort me with promises again

C7 F D-D#-F9sus

I know, I know

A# D# F Dm

When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned

D# A# Am Cm7-F-F7

I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone

A# C F A Dm

When I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?

D# A7 D7

Cause you're the one that I depend upon
