MAD WORLD
by Gary Jules / Tears for Fears (1982)

[Em A Em A]
[Em]All around me are fam[G]iliar faces.
[D]Worn out places. Wo[A]rn out faces.
[Em]Bright and early for their d[G]aily races.
[D]Going nowhere. G[A]oing nowhere.
[Em]And their tears are filling [G]up their glasses.
[D]No expression. N[A]o expression.
[Em]Hide my head; I want to dr[G]own my sorrow.
[D]No tomorrow. N[A]o tomorrow.

[Em]And I find it kinda f[A]unny. I find it kinda s[Em]ad.
The dreams in which I'm d[A]ying Are the best I've ever h[Em]ad.
I find it hard to t[A]ell you Cuz I find it hard to t[Em]ake.
When people run in c[A]ircles it's a very, very
[Em] Mad [A]world. [Em] Mad [A]world.
[Em]Children waiting for the d[G]ay they feel good.
[D]Happy birthday. [A]Happy birthday.
[Em]Made to feel the way that [G]every child should.
[D]Sit and listen. S[A]it and listen.
[Em]Went to school and I was v[G]ery nervous.
[D]No one knew me. N[A]o one knew me.
[Em]Hello, teacher tell me wh[G]at's my lesson?
[D]Look right through me. Lo[A]ok right through me.

[Em] Mad [A]world. [Em] Mad [A]world.
[Em] Enla[A]rging your world
[Em] Mad [A]world.
