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