[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

Am C        D
      Mad world
Am C        D
      Mad world
Am C        D
      Mad world
Am C        D
      Mad world

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

Am C        D
      Mad world
Am C        D
      Mad world
Am C        D
      Mad world
Am C        D
      Mad world
