CRUMBLIN' DOWN
==============
John Cougar Mellencamp
(From the album "Uh-huh")
Yes, even more JCM. This is one of my favourite JCM songs.
The next will probably be "The Authority Song". Once again,
this is from a book of Mellencamp chords, not my own dodgy
interpretation.

[Verse I]
A G/A
Well, some people ain't no damn good.
A G/A
You can't trust `em, you can't love `em. No good deed goes unpunished.
A G/A
And I don't mind being their whippin' boy.
A G/A
I've had that pleasure for years and years
A G/A
No, no, I never was a sinner. Tell me, what else can I do?
A G/A
Second best is what you get till you learn to bend the rules
A G/A
And time respects no person and what you lift up must fall
A G/A
They're waitin' outside to claim my crumblin' walls.
E
Saw my picture in the paper, read the news around my face.
And now some people don't want to treat me the same.
[Chorus]
A G D
When the walls come tumblin' down;
A G D
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin';
A G D A
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' down.
(Repeat Intro)
[Verse II]
A G/A
Well some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy,
A G/A
I'm uneducated, my opinion means nothin'.
A G/A
But I know I'm a real good dancer.
A G/A
Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after.
A G/A
Everybody's got their problems. Ain't no new news here.
A G/A
I'm the same old trouble you've been havin' for years.
A G/A
Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl. It's perfectly clear.
A G/A
Just a human desire to have you come near.
E
Want to put my arms around you, feel your breath in my ear.
You can bend me, you can break me but you better stand clear.
[Chorus]
A G D
When the walls come tumblin' down;
A G D
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin';
A G D
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
G D A
Crumblin', crumblin' down.
[Chorus]
A
When the walls come tumblin' down;
A
When the walls come rumblin', rumblin';
A
When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin', crumblin' down.
E
Want to put my arms around you, feel your breath in my ear.
You can bend me, you can break me but you better stand clear.
[Chorus]
A G D
When the walls come tumblin' down;
A G D
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin';
A G D
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
G D
Crumblin', tumblin'
A G D
When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin' down;
A G D
When the walls (when the walls) come crumblin', crumblin';
A G D
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
G D
Crumblin', tumblin'
A G D
When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin' down;
A G D
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin';
A G D
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin'
G D A
Crumblin', tumblin' down
