Verse
* D
I dropped a coin in the wishing well
G/B
But it's a long time dry
** D/C#
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/B
He says: ''Son, just take a look around
** D/C#
There hasn't been a train through here
D
Since it all came tumblin' down''
[Chorus]
* D
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* G/B
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* D/C#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' come tumblin')
* D
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
[Verse]
* D
I'm not a drinking man no more
G/B
But this one night I got lust
** D/C#
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/B
Slept with my ear down to the ground
** D/C#
And in my dreams I could hear the screams
D
As all came tumblin' down
[Chorus]
* D
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* G/B
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* D/C#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' come tumblin')
* D
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
[Verse]
* D
The corridors are all empty
G/B
And there's a child sitting on the stairs
** D/C#
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/B
Made of glass and steel and such
** D/C#
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/B
As we climb to higher ground
** D/C#
Let's just keep on dancing
D
Untill it all comes tumblin' down
[Chorus]
* D
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* G/B
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
* D/C#
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' come tumblin')
* D
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
