Verse 1:
F#m         A
 All around me are familiar faces
E        B
Worn out places, worn out faces
F#m             A
 Bright and early for their daily races
E       B
Going nowhere Going nowhere


Verse 2:
F#m             A
 And their tears are filling up their glasses
E       B
No expression, no expression
F#m           A
 Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
E      B
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

 And I find it kinda funny
        F#m
I find it kinda sad
            B
The dreams in which I'm dying
            F#m
Are the best I've ever had
         B
I find it hard to tell you,
             F#m
'Cause I find it hard to take
          B
When people run in circles it's a very, very ...

Verse 3:
F#m            A
 Children waiting for the day they feel good
E        B
Happy birthday, happy birthday
F#m            A
 Made to feel the way that every child should
E        B
Sit and listen, sit and listen


Verse 4:
F#m            A
 Went to school and I was very nervous
E        B
No one knew me, no one knew me
F#m           A
 Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson?
E           B
Look right through me, look right through me
