Honesty

by Billy Joel

Edit

I like playing this in G as well as Bb

Verse 1

 7  7    7    -7   -7  -6  -6 
If you search for ten-der-ness
-4 -7 7   -7  -6  -6  6 
It is'nt hard to find~~~
 -6 -6   -6  6    6    6   -6   5  -4  4  -4
You can have~~~~ the love you need~~~ to live
 4   7  7    7   -7   -6   -6  -6
But if you look for truth-ful-ness
 6    -6    -7  7  -7  -6   -6  6
You might just as well be blind~~~~
 4 -6  -6    -7  7  -7  -8   8  -9   8
It al-ways seems to be  so hard to give

Chorus
 8       -8  -9 -6  10  9  8     -8  -8  7 
Hon  -  est  y  is such a lone - ly word~~~~
-10   -9   -8   7  -7  -6    -6   6 
Ev - ery  one  is  so  un - true~~~~
 8       -8    -9  -6  10   9  8    -8   -8  7
Hon  -  est  -  y  is hard-ly  ev - er heard~~~~
 -6  -10   -9   -8   7   -7    -8   -8  7 
And most - ly  what  I  need  from  you~~~~


Verse 2 (Same tune as verse 1)  

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

Chorus

Verse 3 (Same tune as 1 & 2)

When I'm deep inside of me 
Don't be too concerned 
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone 
But when I want sincerity 
Tell me where else can I turn 
Because you're the one I depend upon 

Chorus

There is a bridge after 2nd verse and 2nd chorus
I am still working on, will add later.
