[Verse 1]
B/F# E B/F# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
G#m E F#
I was chasing my Teresa around a tree

We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home
G#m E F#
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes

B/F# E B/F# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
G#m E F#
My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow

She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair"
G#m E F#
And I believed her well enough or didn't care

B/F# E B/F# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
G#m E F#
My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold

We read the writing on the wall, braced each other for the fall
G#m E F#
There's only one way or the mountain after all
[Verse 4]
B/F# E B/F# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain

We took all the river had to give, broke a bed and bought a crib
G#m E F#
But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
