This sounds pretty accurate to me.


(Standard tuning)

CAPO 1
------
Intro:  ,  ,  , .


                      
Is there anyone that fails
                      
Is there anyone that falls
                      
Am I the only one in church today
           
feeling so small

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

                 
So i tuck it all away,
                   
Like everything's okay
                                 
If i make them all believe it
                      
Maybe i'll believe it too

                  
So with a painted grin
                
I play the part again
                     
So everyone will see me
                    
the way that i see them

Chorus
-------
                        
Are we happy plastic people
                        
Under shiny plastic steeples
                          
with walls around our weakness
                       
and smiles to hide our pain

                        
But if the invitation's open
                                
to every heart that has been broken
                            
maybe then we close the curtain
                           F (Play once)
on our stained glass masquerade 

-------------------------------
                           
Is there anyone who's been there
                       
Are there any hands to raise
                        
Am i the only one who's traded 
                   
in the altar for a stage

                          
The performance is convincing
                      
we know every line by heart
                         
only when no one is watching
                     
can we really fall apart

                     
But would it set me free
                      
if i dared to let you see
                        
the truth behind the person
                       
That you imagine me to be

                   
Would your arms be open
                   
or would you walk away
                   
would the love of Jesus
                       
be enough to make you stay

Chorus x2

Are we happy plastic people
                        
Under shiny plastic steeples
                          
with walls around our weakness
                       
and smiles to hide our pain

                        
But if the invitation's open
                                
to every heart that has been broken

                           F (Play once)

-------------------------------
                      
Is there anyone that fails
                      
Is there anyone that falls
                      
Am I the only one in church today
           
feeling so small
