Billy Joel
Honesty
52nd Street (1980)

Capo 3e fret (en B♭)

d  g  Gm7  d  E♭maj7  e♭ D7  b  (piano)

G                 C
If you search for tenderness
D             c  Bm7
It isn't hard to find
C                Em               F♯m7  Am7 D(7)
You can have the love you need to live

G                   A(sus4)
And if you look for truthfulness
          Asus4   A♯°     Bm
You might just as well be blind
   C               F♯7           B7sus4  B7
It always seems to be so hard to give

  Cmaj7 D7   B7/D♯         Em    Em/D
  Honesty is such a lonely word
  C           D    G      B7
  Everyone is so untrue
  Cmaj7 D7   B7/D♯       Em     Em/D
  Honesty is hardly ever heard
      C             D         G             (reste)   D9(6)
  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

  Refrain

d  g  Gm7  d  E♭maj7  e♭ D7  b

Em                  Em/D♯                   (reste)
I can find a lover, I can find a friend    
Em/D                  A/C♯
I can have security until the bitter end
C          D               Gsus4     G
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
  Asus4   A       D6 B7 C                   (reste)   D9(6)  
I know (I know) I knooooow

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

  Refrain
