Verse 1
E
All around me are familiar faces
C#m
Worn out places, worn out faces
F#m
Bright and early for the daily races
A
Going nowhere, going nowhere
E
Their tears are filling up their glasses
C#m
No expression, no expression
F#m
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
A
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
Chorus
E
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
C#m
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
F#m
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
A
When people run in circles it’s a very, very
E C#m
Mad world, mad world
Verse 2
E
Children waiting for the day they feel good
C#m
Happy birthday, happy birthday
F#m
Made to feel the way that every child should
A
Sit and listen, sit and listen
E
Went to school and I was very nervous
C#m
No one knew me, no one knew me
F#m
Hello teacher, tell me what’s my lesson
A
Look right through me, look right through me
Chorus
E
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
C#m
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
F#m
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
A
When people run in circles it’s a very, very
E C#m
Mad world, mad world
Bridge
A
Enlarge your world
F#m
Mad world
Chorus
E
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad

When people run in circles it’s a very, very

Mad world, mad world
