Standard (EADGBE)
All around are familiar faces
Worn out places worn out places
Rising early for the daily races
Going nowhere going nowhere
The children filling up their classes
No expression no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I?m dying
Are the best dreams that I?ve had
I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it?s a very, very mad world. Mad world
Children waiting of the day they feel good
Happy birthday happy birthday
And I feel the way every child should
Sit and listen sit and listen
I went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what?s my lesson
Look right through me look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find if kind of say
The dreams in which I?m dying
Are the best dreams that I?ve had
I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it?s a very, very mad world. Mad world
