[Intro] Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab Gb7M F7

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

You can have the love you need to live

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

It always seems to be so hard to give

All I want is someone to believe

Anyone can comfort me with promises again

I know I know

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
[Refrão]
