Bb5                 Eb5         F5                D5
If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find
Eb5               G5               A5   C5 F5 F5
You can have the love you need to live
Bb5                  C5                      F5               D5
And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind
   Eb5              A5             D5
It always seems to be so hard to give
E5   F5  D5                G5  F5
Honesty   is such a lonely word
Eb5          F5       Bb5  D5
Everyone is so untrue  
E5   F5  D5              G5
Honesty   is hardly ever heard
Eb5                F5           Bb5 F5
But mostly what I need from you   
Bb5           Eb5           F5                 D5
I can always find someone to say they sympathize
Eb5           G5              A5     C5  F5 F5
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve   
Bb5                    C5              F5                 D5
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies
Eb5            A5             D5
All I want is someone to believe
Eb5  F5  D5                G5  F5
Honesty   is such a lonely word 
Eb5          F5       Bb5 D5
Everyone is so untrue  
Eb5  F5  D5              G5
Honesty   is hardly ever heard
Eb5                F5           Bb5 F5
But mostly what I need from you  
G5                  D5
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
F5                            C5
I can have security until the bitter end
Eb5         F5         F5    Eb5            Bb5
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
     C5      F5  D5 Eb5 F5
I know, I know-oh-wo-wo-wo
Bb5               Eb5         F5                    D5
When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned
Eb5               Bb5               A5   C5 F5 F5
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone 
Bb5             C5                     F5    A5      D5
When I want sincerity, tell me where else can I turn?
       Eb5                  A5         D5
'Cause you're the one that I depend upon
