Mad World - Tears For Fears
Hey, I have changed the key of this piece a minor third up from where it's
usually written as. It's easier to play and I personally find it easier to sing to...
[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
And 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
And I find it kind of funny
Am
I find it kind of sad
D
The dreams in which I'm dying
Am
Are the best I've ever had
D
I find it hard to tell you,
Am
'cause I find it hard to take
D
When people run in circles it's a very, very...
Am C D
Mad world

[Verse 2]
Am C
Children waiting for the day they feel good
G D
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Am C
Made to 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
And I find it kind of funny
Am
I find it kind of sad
D
The dreams in which I'm dying
Am
Are the best I've ever had
D
I find it hard to tell you,
Am
'cause I find it hard to take
D
When people run in circles it's a very, very...
Am C D

[Chorus]
Am D
And I find it kind of funny
Am
I find it kind of sad
D
The dreams in which I'm dying
Am
Are the best I've ever had
D
I find it hard to tell you,
Am
'cause I find it hard to take
D
When people run in circles it's a very, very...
Am C D

Mad world
Am C D
Halargian world
Am C D
Mad world
(At the end here, on the last 'world' I like to finish on A (major) chord instead
of D, I feel it ends the piece better and sounds more meaningful... but that's just me!)
