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.
      Bb?      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?

This is the 'beta version' it sounds ok but the recorded version
 is orchestrated quite heavily so this is what the whole band play
 and some of the C's can easily be G's, Check out the much simpler
 acoustic version on You Tube.

 Any suggestions gratefully accepted. 
I'll tab the bass when I get time.
