All around me are familiar faces, 
A5                 E5
Worn out places, worn out faces.

Bright and early for their daily races,
A5               E5    
Going nowhere, going nowhere.
B5                          D5
And their tears are filing up their glasses,
A5               E5
No expression, no expression. 
B5                       D5
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow, 
A5            E5      
No tomorrow, no tomorrow.

When people run in circles, it's a very very
B5     E5   B5   E5
Mad world, mad world.
