Em                   G
All around me are familiar faces
D9                 A
Worn out places  worn out faces
Em                         G
Bright and early for their daily races
D9               A
Going nowhere  going nowhere
Em                          G
And their tears are filling up their glasses
D9               A
No expression   no expression
Em                      G
Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow
D9             A
No tomorrow   no tomorrow

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

Em     A
   Mad world
Em     A
   Mad world
Em     A
   Mad world
Em     A
   Mad world

Em                       G
Children waiting for the day they feel good
D9                A
Happy birthday.  Happy birthday
Em                        G
Made to feel the way that every child should
D9                A
Sit and listen  sit and listen
Em                       G
Went to school and I was very nervous
D9                A
No one knew me no one knew me
Em                     G
Hello, teacher tell me what's my lesson?
D9                       A
Look right through me look right through me

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

Em     A
   Mad world
Em     A
   Mad world
Em     A
   Mad world
Em     A
   Mad world
