Standard Tuning

Chord progression is really , , , 
I simplified some chords below, and used some of their enharmonic spellings for 
easier recognition.

			     
Is there anyone that fails
                       
Is there anyone that falls
                                            
Am I the only one in church today feelin’ 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

                       
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
                        
On our stained glass masquerade

**Continue same chord progression**

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
And 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

                        
But if the invitation’s open
                               
To every heart that has been broken
                          
Maybe then we close the curtain
                        
On our stained glass masquerade

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