Adam Lambert - Mad World Chords

Adam Lambert - Mad World - Live Version (Tears for Fears cover)
American Idol Performance on 7th April, 2009


Tuning: Standard

Note: I am pretty sure about the chord sequence. I have fixed the key to A.

This basically a short version of the original Tears for Fears version. There are some 
in the lyris of the first verse, the rest are same as the original.

You can ignore the A5 chords and play it as Am if you want. But A5 sounds better if you 
plucking.

Verse 1:
A5                C
All around me are familiar faces

G                D
Worn out places, worn out faces

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Am                    D
And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

                        D
The dreams in which I'm dying

                       A5
Are the best I've ever had

It's a very, very

Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson
