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

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