[Verse 1]
C/G F C/G Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Am F G
I was chasing my Teresa around a tree
C/G F
We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home
Am F G
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes
[Verse 2]
C/G F C/G Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Am F G
My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow
C/G F
She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair"
Am F G
And I believed her well enough or didn't care
[Bridge]

Everyone knows and they don't know

Chandelier light ain't love
Em D7sus2
It just watches the time go

Across the marble floor, out the ornamental door
Dm Em F G
Even rain can hear it running off the road

[Verse 3]
C/G F C/G Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Am F G
My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold
C/G F
We read the writing on the wall, braced each other for the fall
Am F G
There's only one way or the mountain after all
[Verse 4]
C/G F C/G Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Am F G
It was me and my Teresa against the world
C/G F
We took all the river had to give, broke a bed and bought a crib
Am F G
But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
