"Mad World"
To play like Tears for Fears, play the following capoed on the second fret.
To play like Gary Jules does on piano, play the following capoed on the first fret.
Verses: Em G D A
Chorus: Em A
Verse 1:
All around me are familiar faces.
Worn out places. Worn out faces.
Bright and early for their daily races.
Going nowhere. Going nowhere.
And their tears are filling up their glasses.
No expression. No expression.
Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow.
No tomorrow. No tomorrow.
Chorus:
And I find it kinda funny.
I find it kinda sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you
Cuz I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Em G A
Mad world.
Em G A
Mad world.
Em G A
Mad world.
Em G A
Mad world.
Verse 2:
Children waiting for the day they feel good.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday.
Made to feel the way that every child should.
Sit and listen. Sit and listen.
Went to school and I was very nervous.
No one knew me. No one knew me.
Hello, teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me. Look right through me.
Chorus
Em G A
Mad world.
Em G A
Mad world.
Em G A
Mad world.
Em G A
Mad world.
.........And it goes on ad lib for a bit.

| I think this is a fabulous song. Gary Jules did a cover of it for the Donnie Darko Soundtrack and I like his version even better. But tears for fears do a great job on it as well. | |

| Yes, this is a lovely song. Donnie Darko was a great movie, by the way. Anyone who has not seen it needs to go out and rent it immediately. | |

| Gay? Finch did a cover of this? My band and I were debating over whether to do this song or Head over Heals at a show... but now that I learned Finch did it already i'm leaning toward Head over Heals. Damn that finch(they suck) | |

| no really, donny darko is crap, and gay porn is as good as it ever will be, by the way some people take offence to the word gay being used as a derogatory term, i just feel that the gary jules cover is bad, and don't say im trying to be cool, i dont try to be anything. finch are a good band and dont insult me by saying yu, the word is you, and i have a very good idea of what a good movie song band is. im a better musician than any of you. | |

| Well, everyones pretty much said everything i was gonna say. I like the Gary Jules version better, it has that kinda mysterious peacefulness about it, and it makes the song seem more emotional. And i was gonna tell everyone how unbelievable amazing Donnie Darko is but it seems everyones way ahead of me, oh well. | |
