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 I'm dying
Em
are the best I've every had.
A
I find it hard to tell you,
Em
cause I find it hard to take,
A
when people run in circles, it's a very, very
Em G A Em G A
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 what's my lesson,
D A
look right through me, look right through me
CHORUS
Em A
And I find it kind of funny,
Em
I find it kind of sad,
A
The dreams in which I'm dying

are the best I've every had.
A
I find it hard to tell you,
Em
cause I find it hard to take,
A
when people run in circles, it's a very, very
Em G A Em G A
Mad World mad world.
