[A] [Am] [F] [E]
[A] If you [D] search for [E] tenderness, it [C#m] isn't hard to find
[D] You can [F#m] have the love you [G#m] need today
[Bm] [E]
[A] And if you [E] look for [G#m] truthfulness, [B] you might [Cm] just as [C#m] well be blind
[D] It always [G#] seems to be so [C#] hard to gain
[D] [E] [C#] In such a [F#m] lonely world, [D] everyone [E] is so [A] untrue
[C#] [D#m]
[D] [E] Honesty [C#] is hardly [F#m] ever [A] heard
[D] Mostly [E] what I need [A] from you
I could [D] always find [E] someone to save [C#m] and sacrifice
[D] If I [F#m] rip my heart out [G#m] of my sleeve
[Bm] [E] But [A] I [E] don't want some pretty face to [C] tell [C#m] me pretty lies
[D] All I [G#] want is someone [C#] to believe
[D] Honesty [E] [C#] is such a [F#m] lonely world
[D] [E] Everyone [Bm] is [A] so untrue
[C#]
[D] [E] Honesty [C#] is hardly [F#m] ever heard
[D] Mostly [E] what [D] I need from [A] you
[C]
[F] I [E] [F#m] could find a lover, [F#] [A] I could have security
[D#] But you look a bit weird
[D] [E] Anyone can comfort [D] me with promises [A] again
[C#] I know, [B]
[E] I [C#] know
[D] [A]
When [D] I'm deep inside [E] of me, don't [C#m] be too concerned
[D] I [F#m] won't ask for nothing [G#m] while I'm gone
[Bm] [E]
[A] But when [E] I want [B] sincerity, [E] tell [G#] me where [C#m] it cannot turn
[D] Cause you're the [G#] one that I [C#] depend
[D] upon
[E] Honesty [C#] is such [F#m] a lonely world
[D] Everyone [E] is so [A] untrue
[C#]
