Mad World – [Am]
Gary Jules / Tears for Fears
[Am] All around me are fam[C]iliar faces,[G] worn out places,[D] worn out faces
[Am] Bright and early for their [C] daily races, [G] going nowhere, [D] going nowhere
[Am] And the tears are filling [C] up their glasses, [G] no expression, [D] no expression
[Am] Hide my head I want to [C] drown my sorrow, [G] no tomorrow, [D] no tomorrow
Chorus:
[Am] And I find it kind of [D] funny, I find it kind of [Am] sad
The dreams in which I’m [D] dying are the best I’ve ever [Am] had
I find it hard to [D] tell you ‘cos I find it hard to [Am] take
When people run in [D] circles, it’s a very very [Am] mad [D] world,
[Am] mad [D] world
[Am] Children waiting for the [C] day they feel good, [G] Happy birthday, [D]
Happy birthday
[Am] Made to feel the way that [C] every child should, [G] sit and listen, [D] sit and listen
[Am] Went to school and I was [C] very nervous,
[G] no one knew me, [D] no one knew me
[Am] Hello teacher tell me [C] what’s my lesson,
[G] look right through me, [D] look right through me
