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