Stained Glass Masquerade

by: RicoTheMan

Capo I      
Intro: F-C-G-F

                     F                           C
Is there anyone that fails, Is there anyone that falls 
                      G                        F
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small  
                         F                            C
Cause when I take a look around, Everybody seems so strong 
                     G                        F
I know they'll soon discover that I don't belong 

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


Chorus: 
                      F                          C
Are we happy plastic people under shiny plastic steeples 
                      G                                F
With walls around our weakness and smiles to hide our pain
             F                                             C
But if the invitation's open to every heart that has been broken
                         G                              F
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade 


Verse 2:               F                                  C
Is there anyone who's been there are there any hands to raise
                        G                           F
Am I the only one who's traded in the altar for a stage 
                    F                                    C
The performance is convincing and we know every line by heart
                     G                           F
Only when no one is watching can we really fall apart 

                     F                         C
But would it set me free if I dared to let you see 
                      G                            Am
The truth behind the person that you imagine me to be
                    F                       C
Would your arms be open or would you walk away 
                   G                          E 
Would the love of Jesus be enough to make you stay 


Chorus:

Interlude:
F-C-G-E 

                      F                          C
Are we happy plastic people under shiny plastic steeples 
                       G                             F
With walls around our weakness and smiles to hide our pain
                         F                                  C
But if the invitation's open to every heart that has been broken
                         G                               E
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade 


   F       C      G       F
                        F                                   C
But if the invitation's open to every heart that has been broken
                         G                              F
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade 
                      F                           C
Is there anyone that fails, Is there anyone that falls 
                      G                        F
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small
