[Verse]
          A            G           
Well some people ain't no damn good
                A                     
You can't trust 'em you can't love 'em
G                           
No good deed goes unpunished
      A                G                 
And I don't mind being their whipping boy
A                      G             A7   
I've had that pleasure for years and years
                    A              G                 
No no I never was a sinner tell me what else can I do
A                                    G                      
Second best is what you get 'til you learn to bend the rules
A                                        Asus4        A7  
And time respects no person and what you lift up must fall
A                                   G             
They're waitin' outside to claim my tumblin' walls
       E                   
Saw my picture in the paper
         E                  
Read the news around my face
        E                
And now some people don't
E                      
Wanna treat me the same
         E7                      
When the walls come tumblin' down


[Chorus]
         A          G         D        
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
         A          G        D        A   
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

[Verse]
          A              G                 
Well some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy
    A             G                    
I'm uneducated my opinion means nothin'
A7               G         A7    
But I know I'm a real good dancer
A                                      G                 
Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after
A                                    G               
Everybody's got their problems ain't no new news here
        A                            G               
I'm the same old trouble you've been having for years
A                                                  G              
Don't confuse the problem with the issue girl it's perfectly clear
         A               G                 
Just for human desire to have you come near
      E                     
Wanna put my arms around you
          E               
Feel your breath in my ear
    E                           
You can bend me you can break me
E7        E                 
But you'd better stand clear


[Chorus]
E7       A          G        D   
When the walls come tumblin' down
         A          G                  
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
D        A          G        D       
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin'
