DmF All around me are familiar faces CG Worn out places – worn out faces DmF Bright and early for their daily races CG Going nowhere – going nowhere DmF Their tears are filling up their glasses CG No expression – no expression DmF Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow CG No tomorrow – no tomorrow

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