Standard (EADGBE)

When the streets are empty late at night

Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright

Rain is falling, trees are still

My mind is racing but my heart is as well

It's not funny, it's a shame

He's the greatest fighter in the world

Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl

He'll get better, the scars will heal

His eyes will open but his heart never will

It's not funny, it's a shame

There's a funny side to it all

Seeing someone else take a fall

When it's you it happens to, sending you

Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on

Such a funny side to it all

Take another tumble and fall

Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on

Solo

same chords as verse]

Different strokes for different folks, it's true (so true)

Changes in our lives go right on through and through

It gets better as time goes on

Some of us are gonna end up alone

It's not funny, it's a shame

There's a funny side to it all

Seeing someone else take a fall

When it's you it happens to, sending you

Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on

Such a funny side to it all

Take another tumble and fall

Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on

There's a funny side to it all

Seeing someone else take a fall

When it's you it happens to, sending you

Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on

Such a funny side to it all

Take another tumble and fall

Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on

When the streets are empty late at night

Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright

Rain is falling, trees are still

My mind is racing but my heart is as well

It's not funny, it's a shame

He's the greatest fighter in the world

Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl

He'll get better, the scars will heal

His eye will open but his heart never will

It's not funny, it's a shame

There's a funny side to it all

Seeing someone else take a fall

When it's you it happens to, sending you

Tumbling, tumbling, sends you tumbling on

Such a funny side to it all

Take another tumble and fall

Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on
