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

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