Standard (EADGBE)

 If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find

 You can have the love you need to live

 And if you look for truthfulness you might just as well be blind

 It always seems to be so hard to give

Chorus

 Honest- y is such a lonely word

 Everyone is so untrue

 Honest- y is hardly ever heard

 But mostly what I need from you

[end chorus]

 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

[repeat chorus]

 I can find a lover, I can find a friend

 I can have security until the bitter end

 Anyone can comfort me with promises again

 I know, I know

 When I'm deep inside of me, don't be too concerned

 I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone

 When I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn?

 Cause you're the one that I depend upon

Coda
