A great song, also on Francis' solo album. Slightly different then that version, but 
good. I only got the chords so far, but enjoy them, anyway.
GWhen the streets are empty late at Bnight
GJust the silence fills me with deBlight, s'alright
CRain is falling, Cmtrees are still
My Gmind is racing but my Emheart is as well
It's not Amfunny, Dit's a Gshame
GHe's the greatest fighter in the Bworld
GGot into a brawl over some Bgirl, sweet girl
CHe'll get better, the Cmscars will heal
His Geyes will open but his Emheart never will
It's not Amfunny, Dit's a Gshame
EmThere's a funny side to it all
CSeeing someone else take a fall
AmWhen it's you it happens to, sending you
GTumbling, tumbling, Bmsends you tumbling Emon
Such a funny side to it all
CTake another tumble and fall
                             Am   Bm(hold)
Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on
[Solo - same chords as verse]
GDifferent strokes for different folks, it's Btrue (so true)
GChanges in our lives go right on Bthrough and through
CIt gets better as Cmtime goes on
GSome of us are gonna Emend up alone
It's not Amfunny, Dit's a Gshame
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
