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