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


Bridge:
F#m                  B
 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
