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...

(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!)
