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