DmProphet took my hand onC all souls daGy.
DmHe preached the Cvalue of deceptDmion.
AmChanging shadows by Gshape-shifter's rDmuse.
DmTales are never Cjust for foDmols.

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:

Just Amclose your Dmeyes and make beDmlieve.
Em,F Em F
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
AmI aDmm happy to Gdeceive youDm. 

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.
