Dm C G
Prophet took my hand on all souls day.
Dm C Dm
He preached the value of deception.
Am G Dm
Changing shadows by shape-shifter's ruse.
Dm C Dm
Tales are never just for fools.
The court of conscience came before me.
Presented me with a heavenly angel.
He took my hand and asked me truths aside.
To his questions I reply:
Chorus:
Em,F Em F
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Am Dm Dm
Just close your eyes and make believe.
Em,F Em F
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Am Dm G Dm
I am happy to deceive you.
He stood as tall as redwood trees.
Drank tea from a seamstress thimble.
I didn't want to speak the honest truth.
So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe.
Chorus:
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you.
Dm Dm(C#) C9 B
Sacred... lies... and telling.. tales.
Bbdim A Dm
I can be who you want me to be.
Sacred.. lies.. and..telling... tales.
I can be who you want me to be.
But do you want me?
...
Chorus:
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Just close your eyes and make believe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you.
Sacred... lies... and telling.. tales.
I can be who you want me to be.
Sacred.. lies.. and..telling... tales.
I can be who you want me to be.
But do you want me?
But do you want me?
