Intro   G2    D2    A    G7M 
Is there anyone that fails 

Is there anyone who's been there 
G7M                    D 
Is there anyone that falls 

Are there any hands to raise 
                             A                   Em7 
am I the only one in church today feelin' so small 

am I the only one who's traded    in the altar for a stage 
                                   G7M 
Cause when I take a look around 

The performance is convincing 
                     D 
Everybody seems so strong 

We know every line by heart 
                      A 
I know they'll soon discover 

Only when no one is watching 
             Em7 
That I don't belong 

Can we really fall apart 
                  G7M                       D 
So I tuck it all away,            like everything's okay 

But would it set me free       If I dared to let you see 
                   A                      Bm 
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too 

The truth behind the person   That you imagine me to be 
                     G7M                                  D 
So with a painted grin,            I play the part again 

Would your arms be open        Or would you walk away 
                     A                  F# 
So everyone will see me   the way that I see them 

Would the love of Jesus  Be enough to make you stay 
 
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 every heart that has been broken 
                         A 
Maybe then we close the curtain 
                          G  
On our stained glass masquerade
