A#                D#        F          F      Dm7
If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find
D#                Gm7              Am7 Cm7 F F7
You can have the love you need to live
A#                   Csus4   C         F 
And if you look for truthfulness you might just
    A      Dm
as well be blind
   D#              A7            Dsus4 D Dsus4
It always seems to be so hard to give

Chorus:
D#maj7 F7   D            Gm7 F
Honesty is such a lonely word
D#           F  D#    A# D
Everyone is so untrue-ue
D#maj7 F7    D          Gm7 F
Honesty is hardly ever heard
     D#            F     D#  A# F9sus4
But mostly what I need from you

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

Gm                 D 
I can find a lover, I can find a friend
Fm6                    C 
I can have security until the bitter end
D#           A#     F        D#       A#
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
  C9sus4     C       F     D    D    D#  F9sus4
I know, (I know) I know, whoa, whoa ohhh

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

Chorus
