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