Bb Bbm/Ab Gbmaj7 F7


[Verse 1]

Bb                Eb         F        F/Eb    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                   Csus4      C          F/C     A/C#     Dm
And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind
   Eb               A7           Dsus4 D
It always seems to be so hard to give


[Chorus]

Ebmaj7   F7  D                Gm7  F
Honest - y   is such a lonely word
Eb          F       Bb    D
Everyone is so untrue
Ebmaj7   F7  D               Gm7
Honest - y   is hardly ever heard
Eb                F           Bb  F9sus
But mostly what I need from you


[Verse 2]

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/C     A/C#     Dm
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies
Eb            A7           Dsus4 D
All I want is someone to believe


[Chorus]

Ebmaj7   F7  D                Gm7  F
Honest - y   is such a lonely word
Eb          F       Bb    D
Everyone is so untrue
Ebmaj7   F7  D               Gm7
Honest - y   is hardly ever heard
Eb                F           Bb  F9
But mostly what I need from you


[Bridge]

Gm                  D/G
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
Fm6                            C/E
I can have security until the bitter end
Eb         F         F7    Eb           Bb
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
     C7      F   D Eb F9
I know, I know


[Verse 3]

Bb                Eb        F        F/Eb 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            Csus4  C           F/C     A/C#    Dm
When I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?
      Eb                  A7        D7
Cause you're the one that I depend upon


[Chorus]

Ebmaj7   F7  D                Gm7  F
Honest - y   is such a lonely word
Eb          F       Bb    D
Everyone is so untrue
Ebmaj7   F7  D               Gm7
Honest - y   is hardly ever heard
Eb                F         Bb
But mostly what I need from you
