F#m                    A
All around me are familiar faces
 E                B
Worn out places, worn out faces
F#m                         A
Bright and early for their daily races
 E              B
Going nowhere, going nowhere
F#m                         A
And their tears are filling up their glasses
 E              B
No expression, no expression
F#m                       A
Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow
 E            B
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

Chorus:
F#m                    B
And I find it kind of funny
                  F#m
I find it kind of sad
                         B
The dreams in which I'm dying
                       F#m
Are the best I've ever had
                   B
I find it hard to tell you,
                         F#m
'cause I find it hard to take
                    B
When people run in circles it's a very, very.
F#m A   B
   Mad world
F#m A   B
   Mad world
F#m A   B
   Mad world
F#m A   B
   Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
