Am Am C C
All around me are familiar faces
G G D D
Worn out places, worn out faces
Am Am C C
Bright and early for their daily races
G G D D
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Am Am C C
And their tears are filling up their glasses
G G D D
No expression, no expression

Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
G G D D
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

Look right through me, look right through me

About this song: Mad World

"Mad World" was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the film Donnie Darko (2001), achieving a second round of success almost twenty years after the original. While the Tears for Fears version featured various synthesizers and percussion, the Andrews/Jules version was stripped down; instead of a full musical backing, it used only a set of piano chords, a cello, and modest use of a vocoder on the chorus. Their version was originally released on CD in 2002 on the film's soundtrack Read more on Last.fm.
