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 kinda funny.

                Am
I find it kinda 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
   Mad world

Am C   D
   Mad world.

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 kinda funny.

                Am
I find it kinda 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
   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!)
