If you want to play it like the actual song you should play it with capo on the 8th fret,
but if you only have your guitar and wanna show off to some girls, play with 
the fret that suits your voice the best.. ;)

Am                   C
All around me are familiar faces
G                D              Am
Worn out places, worn out faces
                           C
Bright and early for their daily races
G              D             Am
Going nowhere, going nowhere
                        C
Their tears are filling up their glasses
G              D             Am
No expression, no expression
                       C
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
G            D           Am
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
                    D
And I find it kinda funny
                Am
I find it kinda sad
                        D
The dreams in which I'm dying
                       Am
Are the best I've ever had
                  D
I find it hard to tell you
                  Am
I find it hard to take
                   D
When people run in circles
                  Am   D     Am   D
It's a very, very, mad world, mad world
Am                       C
Children waiting for the day they feel good
G               D              Am
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
                          C
Made to feel the way that every child should
G               D              Am
Sit and listen, sit and listen
                         C
Went to school and I was very nervous
G               D              Am
No one knew me, no one knew me
                      C
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
G                      D                     Am
Look right through me, look right through me
                    D
And I find it kinda funny
                Am
I find it kinda sad
                        D
The dreams in which I'm dying
                       Am
Are the best I've ever had
                  D
I find it hard to tell you
                  Am
I find it hard to take
                   D
When people run in circles
                  Am   D     Am   D
It's a very, very, mad world, mad world
  Am         D     Am
Enlarge your world
