Honesty Tab

by Billy Joel


Capo 1

                                           
If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find
                                
You can have the love you need to live
                                                        
And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind
                            
It always seems to be so hard to give

[chorus]
                       
Honesty   is such a lonely word
               
Everyone is so untrue
                     
Honesty   is hardly ever heard
                         
But mostly what I need 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

[repeat chorus]

                 
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
                     
I can have security until the bitter end
                         
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
          
I know, I know

                                          
When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned
                                
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone
                                            
When I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?
                                  
Cause you're the one that I depend upon

[repeat chorus]
