This is a modification of Phil Starr's tab which I would like to acknowledge as
it's starting point... it's based on the studio version.

Dm G Cadd9
Prophet took my hand on all souls day.
Dm Cadd9 Dm Dm/F Dm/G
He preached the value of deception.
Am C C/B G G/B G/A
Changing shadows by shape-shifter's ruse.
Dm G Dm G
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.
(replace G with Em7 at the end of verse 1)
To his questions I reply:
Chorus:
F Bb F Am
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Dm Am Dm Em7
Just close your eyes and make believe.
F Bb F Am
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Dm Am 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# Dm/C Dm/B
Sacred... lies... and telling.. tales.
Bbm7 A7 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?
Instrumental:
Dm G|Dm G|Dm G|Dm G|Dm F|G C|Dm Cadd9|Dm Dm/F Dm/G|
Am C C/B |G G/B G/A|Dm Cadd9|Dm Em7|
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?
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C Dm/B
Bbm7 A7 Dm7
But do you want me?
