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