| Em                   | G             | D              | A
     All around me are familiar faces,   worn out places, worn out faces

| Em                          | G          | D            | A
     Bright and early for their daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere

| Em                       | G               | D            | A
     Their tears are filling up their glasses, no expression, no expression

| Em                          | G           | D          | A
     Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow, no tomorrow, no tomorrow

| Em                   | A                    | Em
     And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad

                      | A                          | Em
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

                | A                         | Em
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

                 | A                          | Em     A     | Em    A  
When people run in circles, it's a very, very      mad world,  mad world

     Children waiting for the day they feel good:

| D             | A
  Happy birthday, Happy birthday


| Em                         | G
     Made to feel the way that every child should

| D              | A
  Sit and listen, sit and listen


| Em                   | G
     Went to school and I was very nervous

| D              | A
  No one knew me, no one knew me


| Em                   | G
     Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson

| D                     | A
  Look right through me, look right through me,

                      | A                          | Em
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

                | A                         | Em
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

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