Bm                     D
All around me are familiar faces
 A                E
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bm                          D
Bright and early for their daily races
 A              E
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

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

Mad world
Bm   E
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I 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

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