Stained Glass Masquerade by Casting Crowns
Stained Glass Masquerade
Capo 4th fret (Though it sounds okay without a capo)
I'm not sure what the technical name for it is, so I'm just going to be
calling the second D that I use, D2.
Fingerings I used are as follows:
D: 2320XX A: 02220X E: 001220 D2: 0320XX F#m: 222442
eBGDAE eBGDAE eBGDAE eBGDAE eBGDAE
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Intro:
D A E D2*
Verse:
D A
E D2
D A
E F#m
D A
E D2
D A
E D2
Chorus:
D A E D2
D A E D2
Pre-chorus that shows up right after second verse:
D A E D2
Pretty much anything else that has no words is D A E D2, as far as I can tell.
By the way, all chords are relative to the capo, or if you don't use it,
they should work pretty well. This song is pretty simple chord-wise, and
it's a REALLY great song from the new Casting Crowns album.

version 2
(Standard tuning)
CAPO 1
------
Intro: F , C , G , Am.
F
Is there anyone that fails
C
Is there anyone that falls
G
Am I the only one in church today
Am
feeling so small
F
Cause when i take a look around
C
Everybody seems so strong
G
I know they'll soon discover
Am
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
Am
Maybe i'll believe it too
F
So with a painted grin
C
I play the part again
G
So everyone will see me
Am
the way that i see them
-------
Chorus
-------
F
Are we happy plastic people
C
Under shiny plastic steeples
G
with walls around our weakness
Am
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 (Play once)
on our stained glass masquerade
-------------------------------
F
Is there anyone who's been there
C
Are there any hands to raise
G
Am i the only one who's traded
Am
in the altar for a stage
F
The performance is convincing
C
we know every line by heart
G
only when no one is watching
Am
can we really fall apart
F
But would it set me free
C
if i dared to let you see
G
the truth behind the person
Am
That you imagine me to be
F
Would your arms be open
C
or would you walk away
G
would the love of Jesus
Am
be enough to make you stay
