 verse 1

                       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

verse 2
                            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


Bridge

                   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


chorus

                       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


verse 3
(female intro)(duet) 

                        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

verse 4
(male is'nt singing just female)

                        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


verse 5
(male and female sing together)

                      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

verse 6

                     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
