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