***Please check out the songs I have written on my channel!!! They are a bit better than this (hopefully!)***

My effort at covering Gary Jules' version of Mad World on acoustic guitar - the original is written by Tears for Fears, and Michael Andrews composed the piano piece for Jules' cover. I play it in the wrong key, the wrong tempo and the wrong picking pattern in general, hehe! but hey, it's just my take on it, hope you like it! :D

Please check out my own songs by clicking on my name to see my channel! Here are the lyrics...

All around me are familiar faces,
Worn out places,
Worn out faces,
Bright and early for the daily races,
Going nowhere,
Going nowhere,
Their tears are filling up their glasses,
No expression,
No expression,
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow,
No tomorrow,
No tomorrow,
And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had,
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take,
When people run in circles,
It's a very very,
Mad world,
Mad world,
Children waiting for the day they feel good,
Happy birthday,
Happy birthday,
And I 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,
And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had,
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take,
When people run in circles,
It's a very very,
Mad world,
Mad world,
Enlarging your world,
Mad world...
