Em G
1. All around me are
familiar faces,
D A
worn
out places, worn out faces,
Em G
bright
and early for their daily races,
D A
going
nowhere, going nowhere.
Em G
And their tears are filling up their glasses,
D A
no
expression, no expression.
Em G
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow,
D A
no
tomorrow, no tomorrow.
Em A Em
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of 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, 'cause I find it hard to take,
A
when people run in circles, it's a
very, very
Em A - Em A - Em A -
Em A
mad world, mad
world, mad world, mad world.
Em G
2. 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.
