Verse
* E
I dropped a coin in the wishing well
A/C#
But it's a long time dry
** E/D#
I watched that old Greyhound bus kick up dust
E
As it rolls on by
[Verse]
* E
I asked the man in the station
A/C#
He says: ''Son, just take a look around
** E/D#
There hasn't been a train through here
E
Since it all came tumblin' down''
[Chorus]
* E
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* A/C#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* E/D#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' come tumblin')
* E
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
[Verse]
* E
I'm not a drinking man no more
A/C#
But this one night I got lust
** E/D#
I've never been much of a dancer
E
But this night I surely was
[Verse]
* E
I made it out to the Carlton Woods,
A/C#
Slept with my ear down to the ground
** E/D#
And in my dreams I could hear the screams
E
As all came tumblin' down
[Chorus]
* E
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* A/C#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* E/D#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' come tumblin')
* E
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
[Verse]
* E
The corridors are all empty
A/C#
And there's a child sitting on the stairs
** E/D#
She's seen everything there is to see
E
But somehow she still cares
[Verse]
* E
We took a ride on a Ferris wheel
A/C#
Made of glass and steel and such
** E/D#
And now it's melting in the sun
E
It's not worth all that much
[Verse]
* E
I raise my hands up to the sky
A/C#
As we climb to higher ground
** E/D#
Let's just keep on dancing
E
Untill it all comes tumblin' down
[Chorus]
* E
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* A/C#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* E/D#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' come tumblin')
* E
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
