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

[Em]And I find it kinda [A]funny, I find it kinda [Em]sad  
The dreams in which I'm [A]dying are the best I've ever [Em]had  
I find it hard to [A]tell you, I find it hard to [Em]take  
When people run in [A]circles, it's a very, very  
[Em]Mad world  
[A]Mad world  
[Em]Mad world  
[A]Mad world

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