[Intro]
(drums)
 
[Verse 1] 
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
  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

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

Em          A     Em          A
  Mad world,        mad world
Em          A     Em          A
  Mad world,        mad world

[Verse 2]
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                      Em
  And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
                         A                           Em
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
                  A                                 Em
I find it hard to tell you, cause I find it hard to take
                   A
When people run in circles it's a very very...

Em          A     Em          A
  Mad world,        mad world
Em          A     Em          A
  Mad world,        mad world

[Interlude]


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

Em          A     Em          A
  Mad world,        mad world
Em                     A      Em          A
  Enlarging your world,         Mad world
