C                        F        C
Everybody's runnin' in a mad, mad world.
C        G       C         
nobody's goin' nowhere. (La, la, la, la.)
C                      F             C

Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple..
   F                   C
we all had a burden to bear.
C                               F                  C
Now the world keeps turnin' and things are gettin' faster..

They say the grass is greener on the other side..
C               G         C    
when they cross over they find..(La, la, la, la.)
C                          F       C
everybody's searchin' like you and me,
C              G        C
tryin' to find peace of mind.

See that little boy fishin' on the river..

if I could just be like him. (Like him.)
C                             F            C
I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by..
