It seems to be the version that they sample from in meme videos on YouTube and TikTok where they try to express a feeling of sadness either in honesty or ironically. Where they put the video in grayscale mode and put the part of this song over it that goes “all around me are familiar faces, worn out places” and so on.
They also use the song The Song of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel for this same purpose.

what song is this?
"Mad World" by Tears for Fears
Have to put my favorite version up here as well. Gary Jules on the Donnie Darko soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0y1kFxblmY
This is the version I based it off of
I think the Riverdale cover of it is more known among a lot of people.
