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]
All around me
are familiar f
aces
Worn out place
s, worn out fa
ces
Bright and ear
ly for their d
aily races
Going nowhere,
going nowhere
And their tear
s are filling
up their glass
es
No expression,
no expression
Hide my head;
I want to drow
n my sorrow
No tomorrow, n
o tomorrow
[Chorus]
And I find
it kind of fun
ny
I find it kind
of sad
The dreams in
which I'm dyin
g
Are the best I
've ever had
I find it hard
to tell you,
'cause I find
it hard to tak
e
When people ru
n in circles i
t's a very, ve
ry...

Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
[Verse 2]
Children waiti

Happy birthday
, happy birthd
ay
Made to feel t
he way that ev
ery child shou
ld
Sit and listen
, sit and list

Went to school
and I was ver
y nervous
No one knew me
, no one knew
me
Hello, teacher
tell me what'
s my lesson?
Look right thr
ough me, look
right through
me
[Chorus]
And I find
it kind of fun
ny
I find it kind
of sad
The dreams in
which I'm dyin
g
Are the best I
've ever had
I find it hard
to tell you,
'cause I find

When people ru

(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!)
