Intro

Gsus2 Dsus2 A G     



Verse 1

G

 Is there anyone that fails?

                         D

Is there anyone that falls?

                          A

Am I the only one in church

                     Em7

Today feelin' so small? 

                               G

'Cause when I take a look around

                        D

Ev'rybody seems so strong.

                          A                   Em7

I know they'll soon discover that I don't belong.

                    G                     D

So I tuck it all away, like ev'rything's okay.

                         A

If I make them all believe it,

                        Bm

Maybe I'll believe it too.

                     G                    D

So with a painted grin, I play the part again,

                   A                          F#

So ev'ryone will see me the way that I see them.



Chorus

                        G

Are we happy plastic people

                        D

Under shiny plastic steeples,

                          A

With walls around our weakness

                          G

And smiles to hide our pain?

But if the invitation's open

                                D

To ev'ry heart that has been broken,

                           A

Maybe then we close the curtain

                            G F#    

On our stained glass masquerade.

 Bm D E F# 

 G D A



Verse 2

                         G

Is there anyone who's been there?

                           D

Are there any hands to raise?

Am I the only one

          A                         Em7

Who's traded in the altar for a stage?

                            G

The performance is convincing,

                              D

And we know ev'ry line by heart.

                         A

Only when no one is watching

                       Em7

Can we really fall apart.

                       G

But would it set me free

                        D

If I dared to let you see

                        A

The truth behind the person

                        Bm

That you imagine me to be?

                          G

Well, would your arms be open,

                     D

Or would you walk away,

                       A

Or would the love of Jesus

                         F#

Be enough to make you stay?



Ending

Em7                         G

 Well, if the invitation's open

                                D

To ev'ry heart that has been broken,

                           A

Maybe then we close the curtain

                              G

On the stained glass masquerade.

Is there anyone that fails?

                         D

Is there anyone that falls?

                          A

Am I the only one in church

                 G

Today feelin' so small?
