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

      Am            F             G
I was chasing my Teresa around a tree

        C/G                               F
We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home

      Am              F                   G
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes
[Verse 2]
         C/G             F              C/G     Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain

     Am              F             G
My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow

               C/G                                 F
She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair"

         Am              F                G
And I believed her well enough or didn't care
[Bridge]
        Em              D7sus2
Everyone knows and they don't know

Em                       D7sus2
Chandelier light ain't love

       Em           D7sus2
It just watches the time go

 Bb                              Dm   Em     F
Across the marble floor, out the ornamental door

     Dm       Em      F                G
Even rain can hear it running off the road
[Interlude] C/G F C/G Am F G [Verse 3]
         C/G             F              C/G     Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain

     Am              F                 G
My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold

            C/G                              F
We read the writing on the wall, braced each other for the fall

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

       Am           F                G
It was me and my Teresa against the world

                C/G                         F
We took all the river had to give, broke a bed and bought a crib

                 Am            F            G
But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
