[Verse 1]
Em                  G           
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               
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

[Chorus]
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                         
When people run in circles, it's a very, very
Em   A   
Mad world

[Verse 2]
Em                       G                 
Children waiting for the day they feel good
D               A             
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Em                      G                 
And I 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

[Chorus]
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
