[Verse 1]
Dm F
All around me are familiar faces
C G
Worn out places, worn out faces
Dm F
Bright and early for their daily races
C G
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Dm F
Their tears are filling up their glasses
C G
No expression, no expression
Dm F
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
C G
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
[Chorus]
Dm G Dm
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
G Dm
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

When people run in circles, it's a very, very

Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday, happy birthday
Dm F
Made to feel the way that every child should
C G
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Dm F
Went to school, and I was very nervous
C G
No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson

Look right through me, look right through me
[Chorus]

I Will Survive
[Intro]
E7
[Verse]
Am Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
G Cmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
Esus4 E
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.
Am Dm
But now you're back, from outer space,
G Cmaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Fmaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
Bm7b5
I should have made you leave your key,
Esus4 E
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Esus4 E
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
G Cmaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Esus4 E Am
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive…
[Interlude]
Am Dm G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E
[Verse]
Am Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
G Cmaj7
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
Esus4 E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
Am Dm
And you see me; somebody new,
G Cmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,
Esus4 E
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.

Rare Old Mountain Dew
[Verse 1]
C F C G
Where the grasses grow, And the waters flow, In a free and easy way
C F C G C
But give me enough, Of the rare ol' stuff, That's made near Galway Bay

Come goughers all, From Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too

Where the smoke curls up to the sky

By the whiff and the smell, You can plainly tell

For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you

And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew

So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew

F C
So long ago, I don't remember when
E7 Am C/G
That's when they say I lost my only friend
F C
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
E7 Am C/G
As I listened through the cemetery trees
[Interlude]
F C E7 Am C/G
[Verse 2]
F C
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
E7 Am C/G
The long broken arm of human law
F C
Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
E7 Am C/G
I wondered how she hung around this place
[Pre-Chorus]

She said it's cold
C
It feels like Independence Day
E7 Am C/G
And I can't break away from this parade
F
But there's got to be an opening
C
Somewhere here in front of me
E7 Am C/G
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
F
And I seen the sun up ahead
C
At the county line bridge
E7 Am C/G
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
F
We'll run until she's out of breath
C
She ran until there's nothin' left
E7 Am C/G
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
[Pre-Chorus]

F
Well this place is old
C
It feels just like a beat up truck
E7 Am C/G
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
F
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
C
This place is always such a mess
E7 Am C/G
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
F C
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
E7 Am C/G
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
F C
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
E7 Am C/G
I think her death it must be killin' me
[Pre-Chorus]
