Mad World - Tears for Fears Hey, I have changed the key of this piece a perfect fifth down from where it's usually written as. It's easier to play and I personally find it easier to sing to... Verse 1:

^AmAll around me are fam^Ciliar faces. ^GWorn out places. ^DWorn out faces. ^AmBright and early for their ^Cdaily races. ^GGoing nowhere. ^DGoing nowhere. ^AmAnd their tears are filling ^Cup their glasses. ^GNo expression. ^DNo expression. ^AmHide my head; I want to ^Cdrown my sorrow. ^GNo tomorrow. ^DNo tomorrow.

Chorus:

^AmAnd I find it kinda ^Dfunny. I find it kinda ^Amsad. The dreams in which I'm ^Ddying Are the best I've ever ^Amhad. I find it hard to ^Dtell you, 'Cause I find it hard ^Amto take. When people run in ^Dcircles it's a very, very...

^Am ^CMad ^Dworld. ^Am ^CMad ^Dworld ^Am ^CMad ^Dworld. ^Am ^CMad ^Dworld.

Verse 2:

^AmChildren waiting for the ^Cday they feel good. ^GHappy birthday. ^DHappy birthday. ^AmMade to feel the way that ^Cevery child should. ^GSit and listen. ^DSit and listen. ^AmWent to school and I was ^Cvery nervous. ^GNo one knew me. ^DNo one knew me. ^AmHello, teacher tell me ^Cwhat's my lesson' ^GLook right through me. ^DLook right through me.

Chorus:

^Am ^CMad ^Dworld. ^Am ^CMad ^Dworld. ^Am ^CMad ^Dworld. ^Am ^CMad ^Dworld. (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!)

Well, that's my first tab, hope it works as well for you as it did for me! - KT
