Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A G
I went searching for the truth
Em A
But in my innocence I found
A G
All the con men and their acrobats
Em A
Who stomped me in the ground
A G
If I count up their percentages
Em A
I know they're getting rich
A G
But they haven't taken everything
Em A
Those paybacks are a bitch
C
Though I've lost quite a lot
G
I am still in control
C
They can keep what they've got
A
But they can't have my soul
D G A D
And if I don't have this all worked out
D G A D
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
D G A Bm
I still have far to go no doubt
D G A D
But I'm getting closer, getting closer
A G
What was ripped off by professionals
Em A
Is not all that it seems
A G
While I must live up to contracts
Em A
I did not give up my dreams
A G
If I see it as experience
Em A
It hasn't gone to waste
A G
Lately all the missing pieces
Em A
Have been falling into place
C G
And if I could go back and start over somehow
C
I would not change that much
A
Knowing what I know now
D G
Thought there have been sins
A D
I will regret
D G A D
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
D G A Bm
I don't have all the answers yet
D G A D
But I'm getting closer, getting closer
SOLO:
G F A G (A could be Dm) (X4)
A G Em A (X4)
A G
I'm a mark for every shyster
Em A
From Topanga to Berlin
A G
And I should have learned to kick them out
Em A
As soon as they crawled in
A G
So to every bank in Switzerland
Em A
That stores my stolen youth
A G
I'm alright because despite the laws
Em A
You cannot hide the truth
C
And although you will say
G
I am still too naive
C
Well I have not lost faith
A
In the things I believe
D G A D
And if I don't have a this all worked out
D G A D
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
D G A Bm
I still have far to go no doubt
