Intro
D/A Gadd4 Bm G A
[Verse 1]
D/A G D/A Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Bm G A
I was chasing my Teresa around a tree
D/A G
We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home
Bm G A
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes
[Verse 2]
D/A G D/A Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Bm G A
My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow
D/A G
She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair"
Bm G A
And I believed her well enough or didn't care
[Bridge]
F#m D7sus2
Everyone knows and they don't know
F#m D7sus2
Chandelier light ain't love
F#m D7sus2
It just watches the time go
C Em F#m G
Across the marble floor, out the ornamental door
Em F#m G A
Even rain can hear it running off the road
[Interlude]

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