So I was playing along to Adam Lambert's Studio
version of this song using the Gary Jules progression
when I noticed that it didn't fit at all. With some
moving of the capo I found the right progression for his
key right at the head of the guitar, standard tuning.
Am C
All around me are familiar faces
G D
Worn out places, worn out faces
Am C
Bright and early for their daily races
G D
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Am C
Their tears are filling up their glasses
G D
No expression, no expression
Am C
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
G D
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
Am
And I find it kind of funny
D
I find it kind of sad
Am
The dreams in which I'm dying
D
Are the best I've ever had
Am
I find it hard to tell you
D
I find it hard to take
Am
When people run in circles
D
It's a very, very
Am G D

Am C
Children waiting for the day they feel good
G D
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Am C
And I feel the way that every child should
G D
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Am C
Went to school and I was very nervous
G D
No one knew me, no one knew me
Am C
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
G D
Look right through me, look right through me
Am
And I find it kind of funny
D
I find it kind of sad
Am
The dreams in which I'm dying
D
Are the best I've ever had
Am
I find it hard to tell you
D
I find it hard to take
Am
When people run in circles
D
It's a very, very
Am G D
