I dropped a coin in the wishing well, [D] but it's a long time dry.
[E] I watched that old Greyhound burst, kick [A] up dust as it rolls on by.
I asked the man in the station, [D] he said, son, just take a look around.
There [E] hasn't been a train through here [A] since it all came tumbling down.
Come tumbling down, [D] come tumbling down, [E] come tumbling, come [A] tumbling, come tumbling down.
I'm not a drinking man no more, [D] but this one line I got lost.
[E] I've never been much of a dancer, [A] but this night I surely was.
I made it out to the cottonwoods, [D] let my ear down to the ground.
[E] And in my dreams I could hear the [A] screams as it all came tumbling down.
Come tumbling down, [D] come tumbling down, [A] [E] come tumbling, [A] come tumbling, come tumbling down.
The corridors are all empty [D] and there's a child sitting on his bed.
[E] She's seen everything that there is to see, [A] but somehow she still cares.
We took a ride on the Ferris wheel [D] made of glass and steel and stretch.
[E] Now it's melting in the sun, [A] it's not worth all that much.
I raise my hands up to the sky [D] as we climb to higher ground.
[E] Let's just keep on dancing [A] till it all comes tumbling down.
Come tumbling down, [D] come tumbling down, [A] [E] come tumbling, come [A] tumbling, come tumbling down.
