Mad World

Year: 1983 - Album: Shout: The Very Best of Tears for Fears

Written by Roland Orzabal

	  		
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.

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.

Am C D Mad world. Am C D Mad world. Am C D Mad 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!)
