  Stained Glass Masquerade: by Casting Crowns:
Intro: G B A G (2x) 

V1:
              G                  B
Is there anyone that fails, Is there anyone that falls 
                              A                                                G
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small  
         G                       B
Cause when I take a look around, Everybody seems so strong 
               A                     Bm
I know they'll soon discover that I don't belong 

       G                    B 
So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay  
               A                     Bm
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too 

          G                       B
So with a painted grin, I play the part again 
               A                     D
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Chorus: 
                  G                 B 
Are we happy plastic people under shiny plastic steeples 
                   A                 G
With walls around our weakness and smiles to hide our pain
                    G               B 
But if the invitation's open to every heart that has been broken
                     A                  G
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade 








Verse 2:
                                               G                                             B
Is there anyone who's been there are there any hands to raise
                    A            Bm 
Am I the only one who's traded in the altar for a stage 
                                                 G                                               B
The performance is convincing and we know every line by heart
                                              A                                   Bm        
Only when no one is watching can we really fall apart 

                                G                               B
But would it set me free if I dared to let you see 
                                        A                                     Bm
The truth behind the person that you imagine me to be
                                     G                                      B
Would your arms be open or would you walk away 
                                      A                                       D
Would the love of Jesus be enough to make you stay 

Interlude:
G-B-A-Bm 
                                           G                                             B
But if the invitation's open to every heart that has been broken  
                                            A                                                 G
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade
                                   G                                   B
Is there anyone that fails, Is there anyone that falls 
A                                                     G
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small
