While my father built [C] a mansion on [G] the mountain, [Em] I was chasing my [C] dreams around [G] a tree.

[G] While my father [C] built a mansion [G] on the mountain,
[Em] I was [C] sitting on a bench [D] across my brow.
[G] She said, the weather's only fair, the [C] wind can only blow your hair.
And [Em] I believed her [C] well enough, I [D] didn't care.
[Bm] Everyone knows, [Am] and they don't know,
[Bm] Can the leader lie, they [Am] need love.
[Bm] It just watches [Am] the time go by.
[F] Across the marble floor, [Am] out the [Em] [C] ornamental door,
[Am] Even rain can [C] hear it running [D] off the roof.

[G] While my [C] father built a mansion [G] on the mountain,
[Em] My Teresa [C] blew me kisses through [D] the cold.

There's [Em] only one way [C] off the mountain [D] after all.
[G] While my father [C] built a mansion [G] on the mountain,
[Em] It was me and [C] my Teresa against [D] the world.
We [G] took all the river hats to give, we broke [C] the bed, and we bought a crib.
[Em] And we left the mountain mansion, [C] nothing to [D] forgive.
[G]
[F] To forgive.
