[Verse 1]
G#/D# C# G#/D# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Fm C# D#
I was chasing my Teresa around a tree

We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home
Fm C# D#
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes
[Verse 2]

While my father built a mansion on the mountain

My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow

She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair"
Fm C# D#
And I believed her well enough or didn't care

G#/D# C# G#/D# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain

There's only one way or the mountain after all
[Verse 4]
G#/D# C# G#/D# Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain

But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
