Em       G
All around me are familiar faces,
D           A
worn out places, worn out faces,
Em           G
Bright and early for their daily races,
D         A
going nowhere, going nowhere,
Em           G
And their tears are filling up their glasses,
D         A
no expression, no expression,
Em         G
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow,
D        A
no tomorrow, no tomorrow,

Em       A
And I find it kind of funny,
      Em
I find it kind of sad,
          A
The dreams in which Iʼm dying
          Em
Are the best Iʼve every had.
      A
I find it hard to tell you,
          Em
Cause I find it hard to take,
       A
When people run in circles, itʼs a very, very
Em  G A   Em G  A   Em G  A   Em G  A
Mad World   mad world  mad world   mad world

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

Em       A
And I find it kind of funny,
      Em
I find it kind of sad,
          A
The dreams in which Iʼm dying
          Em
Are the best Iʼve every had.
      A
I find it hard to tell you,
          Em
Cause I find it hard to take,
       A
When people run in circles, itʼs a very, very
Em  G A   Em G  A   Em G  A   Em G  A
