Capo 6th fret

Intro:
C/GC/G Gadd4 A minorAm  FF  G+G


Verse 1:
    C/GC/G       FF       C/GC/G   Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
   A minorAm      FF       G+G
I was chasing my Teresa around a tree
    C/GC/G                FF
We were kicking precious stones, sinking ships and swimming home
   A minorAm       FF          G+G
Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes


Verse 2:
    C/GC/G       FF       C/GC/G   Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
   A minorAm       FF       G+G
My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow
        C/GC/G                 FF
She said, "the weather's never fair, the wind can only blow your hair"
     A minorAm       FF        G+G
And I believed her well enough or didn't care


Bridge:
    E minorEm       D7sus2
Everyone knows and they don't know
E minorEm            D7sus2
Chandelier light ain't love
    E minorEm       D7sus2
It just watches the time go
 A#A#               DmDm  E minorEm  FF
Across the marble floor, out the ornamental door
   DmDm    E minorEm   FF        G+G
Even rain can hear it running off the road

Interlude:
C/GC/G FF C/GC/G
A minorAm  FF G+G


Verse 3:
    C/GC/G       FF       C/GC/G   Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
   A minorAm       FF         G+G
My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold
      C/GC/G               FF
We read the writing on the wall, braced each other for the fall
        A minorAm       FF      G+G
There's only one way or the mountain after all


Verse 4:
    C/GC/G       FF       C/GC/G   Gadd4
While my father built a mansion on the mountain
    A minorAm      FF        G+G
It was me and my Teresa against the world
        C/GC/G              FF
We took all the river had to give, broke a bed and bought a crib
         A minorAm      FF      G+G
But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forgive
