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