[Bb] [Db]
[Gb] [F] [Bb]
If you [Eb] search for tenderness
[F] It isn't hard [Dm] to find
[Eb] You can have [Gm] the love you need [Am] to live
[Cm] [F]
[Bb] But if you look [C] for truthfulness, you [F] might just [Db] as well be [Dm] blind
[Eb] It always seems to [A] be so [G] hard [D] to give
[Eb] [F] Honesty
[D] Is such a lonely [Gm] word
[F]
[Eb] Everyone [F] is so [Bb] untrue
[D]
[Eb] [F] Honesty
[D] Is hardly [Gm] ever [G] heard
[Eb] And mostly [F] what I need from [Bb] you
I [F]
[Bb] can [Eb] always find someone
[F] Say they [Dm] sympathize
[Eb] If I wear [Gm] my heart out on [Am] my sleeve
[Cm] [F]
[Bb] But I don't [C] want some pretty face to tell me pretty [Dm] lies
[Eb] All I want [A] is someone to [D] believe
[Eb] [F] Honesty
[D] Such a lonely [Gm] word
[F]
[Eb] Everyone [F] is so
[Bb] untrue
[D]
[Eb] [F] Honesty
[D] Is hardly ever [G] heard
[Eb] Mostly [F] what I [Bb] need from you
[Db] I [Gb] [F]
[Gm] can find a lover.
[D] I can find a friend I [Fm] can have security
[E] [Em]
[Eb] I
Anyone [F] can comfort [Bb] me with promises again, I know
[C] [F] I know
[D]
[Eb] [Bb]
When I'm [Eb] deep inside of me
[F]
Don't be too [Dm] concerned.
[Eb] I
Won't ask [Gm] for nothing while [Am] I'm gone
[Cm] [F] [Bb]
But when I want [C] sincerity tell me where [Db] else can I [Dm] turn
[Eb] Cuz you're the one [A] that I
depend [D] upon
[Eb]
[F] Honesty
[D] It's such a lonely word
[F] [Eb] Everyone is [F] so [Bb] untrue
[E] [Eb]
[F] Honesty
[D] Is hardly ever [Gm] heard
[Bb] [Eb] Mostly what [F] I need [Bb] from you
[Db] [Gb]
[F] [Ebm]
[Dm] [F] [Bb]
