Verse
* C
I dropped a coin in the wishing well
F/A
But it's a long time dry
** C/B
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/B
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/B
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/B
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/B
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/B
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/B
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/B
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/B
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/B
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' come tumblin')
* C
Tumblin' Down (come tumblin' down)
