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

Across the marble floor, out the ornamental door

[Verse 3]
G/D C G/D Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
Em C D
My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold

We read the writing on the wall, braced each other for the fall
Em C D
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

It was me and my Teresa against the world

But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
