Intro:

F Fm C#maj7 C7

F                 A#         C                Am7
If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find
A#               Dm                Em  Gm7 C C7   
You can have the love you need to live   
    F               G                C                     A
And if you look for truthfulness You might just as well be blind
   A#              E             A
It always seems to be so hard to give

Chorus:

A#maj7   C7     A             Dm7  C
Honest-  y   is such a lonely word
A#          C       F    A
Everyone is so untrue
A#maj7   C7     A           Dm7
Honest-  y   is hardly ever heard
    A#            C         F   F9sus
But mostly what I need from you


F             A#             C              Am7
I can always find someone to say they sympathize
A#           Dm              Em     Gm7 C C7
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
F                     G              C              A
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies
A#            E               A
All I want is someone to believe

Chorus:

A#maj7   C7     A              Dm7  C
Honest-  y   is such a lonely word
A#          C       F    A
Everyone is so untrue
A#maj7   C7     A           Dm7
Honest-  y   is hardly ever heard
    A#            C          F  F9sus
But mostly what I need from you

Bridge:

Dm                  A
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
C7                    G
I can have security until the bitter end
A#         C       C7      A#          F
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
     G7      C   A A# F9sus
I know, I know 
F                A#         C                Am
When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned
A#              F                 Em     Gm7 C C7        
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone
F               G             C              E   Am
When I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?
       A#                 E7         A7
Cause you're the one that I depend upon

Chorus:

A#maj7   C7     A              Dm7  C
Honest-  y   is such a lonely word
A#          C    F    A
Everyone is so untrue
A#maj7   C7     A             Dm7
Honest-  y   is hardly ever heard
    A#            C         F   F9sus
But mostly what I need from you
