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