[Intro]
C/G Gadd4 Am   F   G  


[Verse 1]
        C/G             F              C/G     Gadd4
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain
      Am            F             G
I was chasing my Teresa 'round 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
Well 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 as the time goes
 A#                              Dm   Em   F
Across the marble floor, out the old mill 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
Well 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
Well 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 the bed and bought a crib
                 Am            F            G
But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forget


[Outro]
A#
Dm  Em  F
Dm  Em  F
G   C/G
