Sam Tompkins - Mad World (Live)

(originally by Tears For Fears)

[Intro]
Am C G D

[Verse 1]
Am C
All around me are familiar faces
G D
Worn out places, worn out faces
Am C
Bright and early for their daily races
G D
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Am C
Their tears are filling up their glasses
G D
No expression, no expression
Am C
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
G D
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

[Chorus]
Am D Am
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
D Am
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
D Am
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
D Am
When people run in circles it’s a very very
D Am
Mad world
D
Mad world

[Verse 2]
Am C
Children waiting for the day they feel good
G D
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Am C
And I feel the way that every child should
G D
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Am C
Went to school and I was very nervous
G D
No one knew me, no one knew me
Am C
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
G D
Look right through me, look right through me

[Chorus]
Am D Am
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
D Am
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
D Am
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
D Am
When people run in circles it’s a very very
D Am
Mad world
D Am
Mad world
D Am
Mad world
D
Mad world
