Bb                 Eb         F                Dm7
If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find
Eb               Gm               Am   Cm7 F F7
You can have the love you need to live
Bb                  C                      F               D
And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind
   Eb              A             D
It always seems to be so hard to give
E7M   F7  D                Gm7  F
Honesty   is such a lonely word
Eb          F       Bb  D
Everyone is so untrue  
E7M   F7  D              Gm7
Honesty   is hardly ever heard
Eb                F           Bb F7/9
But mostly what I need from you   
Bb           Eb           F                 Dm7
I can always find someone to say they sympathize
Eb           Gm              Am     Cm7  F F7
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve   
Bb                    C              F                 D
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies
Eb            A             D
All I want is someone to believe
Eb7M  F7  D                Gm7  F
Honesty   is such a lonely word 
Eb          F       Bb D
Everyone is so untrue  
Eb7M  F7  D              Gm7
Honesty   is hardly ever heard
Eb                F           Bb F7/9
But mostly what I need from you  
Gm                  D
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
F7                            C
I can have security until the bitter end
Eb         F         F7    Eb            Bb
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
     C7      F  D Eb F7/9
I know, I know-oh-wo-wo-wo
Bb               Eb         F                    Dm
When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned
Eb               Bb               Am   Cm7 F F7
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone 
Bb             C                     F    A      Dm
When I want sincerity, tell me where else can I turn?
       Eb                  A7         D7
'Cause you're the one that I depend upon
