Tears For Fears

The Hurting (1983)

(ti-beat)

F♯m                 A
All around me are familiar faces
E                B
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

  F♯m                   B                       (F♯m)

  F♯m    A B           w/ a g♯ f♯ e d♯
       Mad world  x 4

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
