intro:

C    G    D   Am7 (x4)

                     C
Is there anyone that fails
                     G 
Is there anyone that falls
                     D                       Am7 
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

                         C  
Cause when I take a look around
                   G
Everybody seems so strong
                    D
I know they'll soon discover
             Am7
That I don't belong

                 C                       G
So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
                   D                                 Am7
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
                  C                     G
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
                 D                         Am7       
So everyone will see me the way that I see them


                     C
Are we happy plastic people
                    G
Under shiny plastic steeples
                      D
With walls around our weakness
                       Am7
And smiles to hide our pain
                        C 
But if the invitation's open
                             G
To every heart that has been broken
                        D
Maybe then we close the curtain
                     Am7
On our stained glass masquerade


                      C  
Is there anyone who's been there
                       G
Are there any hands to raise
                        D
Am I the only one who's traded
                   Am7
In the altar for a stage

                   C  
The performance is convincing
                          G
And we know every line by heart
                    D
Only when no one is watching
                   Am7
Can we really fall apart

                    C
But would it set me free
                      G
If I dared to let you see
                     D
The truth behind the person
                       Am7
That you imagine me to be


                   C
Would your arms be open
                  G
Or would you walk away
                  D
Would the love of Jesus
                      Am7
Be enough to make you stay

                     C
Are we happy plastic people
                    G
Under shiny plastic steeples
                      D
With walls around our weakness
                       Am7
And smiles to hide our pain
                        C 
But if the invitation's open
                             G
To every heart that has been broken
                        D
Maybe then we close the curtain
                     Am7
On our stained glass masquerade

                     C
Is there anyone that fails
                     G 
Is there anyone that falls
                     D                       Am7 
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small
