Lyrics

Is there an y one that (Gmaj7)fails?

there?

Is there an y one that (D)falls?

Am I the on ly one in (A)church to day feel in’ so small?

(Em7)stage?

’Cause when I take a look a (Gmaj7)round, ing, and ev ’ry bod y seems so (D)strong.

On I know they’ll soon dis (A)cov er can we that I don’t be (Em7)long.

So I tuck it all a (Gmaj7)way, Like I ev ’ry thing’s o (D)kay.

If I make them all be (A)lieve it, that may be I’ll be lieve it (Bm)too.

So with a paint ed (Gmaj7)grin, I play the part a (D)gain, so ev ’ry one will (A)see me the e way that I see (F#)them.

Are we hap py plas tic (G)peo ple un der shin y plas tic (D)stee ples, with walls a round our (A)weak ness and smiles to hide our (G)pain?

But if the in vi ta tion’s o pen to ev ’ry heart that has been (D)bro ken, may be then we close the (A)cur tain on our stained glass mas quer (G)ade.

Is there an y one who’s (Gmaj7)been there?

Are there an y hands to (D)raise?

Am I the on ly one who’s (A)trad ed in al tar for a (Em7)stage?

’Cause The per form ance is con (Gmaj7)vinc ing, and we know ev ’ry line by (D)heart.

On ly when no one is (A)watch ing can we real ly fall a (Em7)part.

So But would it set me (Gmaj7)free if I dared to let you (D)see If the truth be hind the (A)per son that you i mag ine me to (Bm)be?

Well, would your arms be (Gmaj7)o or would you walk a (D)way, or would the love of (A)Je sus be e nough to make you (F#)stay?

Are we hap py plas tic (G)peo ple un der shin y plas tic (D)stee ples, with walls a round our (A)weak ness and smiles to hide our (G)pain?

But if the in vi ta tion’s o pen to ev ’ry heart that has been (D)bro ken, may be then we close the (A)cur tain on our stained glass mas quer (G)ade.

Is there an y one who’s (G)ade.

Are we hap py plas tic ade.

Well, if the in vi ta tion’s (G)o pen to ev ’ry heart that has been (D)bro ken, may be then we close the (A)cur tain on the stained glass mas quer (Gmaj7)ade.

Is there an y one that fails?

Is there an y one that (D)falls?

Is there an y one in (A)church to day feel in’ so (G)small?
