verse 1 
        C               F              C 
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain 
      Am            F             G 
I was chasing my Teresa 'round a tree 
        C                                 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               F              C 
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain 
     Am              F             G 
My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow 
               C                                   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              Dmaj7 
Everyone knows and they don't know 
Em                      Dmaj7 
Chandelier light ain't love 
       Em              Dmaj7 
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

verse 3 
        C               F              C 
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain 
     Am              F                 G 
My Teresa threw me kisses through the cold 
            C                                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               F              C 
Well my father built a mansion on the mountain 
       Am           F                G 
It was me and my Teresa against the world 
                C                             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
