Reapeat the above riff once more, but instead of playing the A riff, play an open A.
chorus is the same thing as the intro

not the riff version.
Lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces. Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races. Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses. No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow. No tomorrow, no tomorrow
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
I find it hard to take
A ~
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
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 you
me
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
I find it hard to take
A ~
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
~ ~
Enlarging your world (X4)
Mad World
