Stained Glass Masquerade

(Verse 1)
F#
Is there anyone that fails
C#
Is there anyone that falls
G#
Am I the only one in church today
F#m
feelin' so small
F#
Cause when I take a look around
C#
Everybody seems so strong
G#
I know they'll soon discover
F#m
That I don't belong

F#
So I tuck it all away,
C#
like everything's okay
G#
If I make them all believe it,
A#m
maybe I'll believe it too
F#
So with a painted grin,
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
C#
I play the part again
G#
So everyone will see me
F F#
the way that I see them
F#
Are we happy plastic people
C#
Under shiny plastic steeples
G#
With walls around our weakness
F#m
And smiles to hide our pain
F#
But if the invitation's open
C#
To every heart that has been broken
G#
Maybe then we close the curtain
F#m
On our stained glass masquerade
(Verse 2)

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

Outro
F#
Is there anyone that fails
