[Intro]
D Bm D All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy Bm D But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul D But he's moving on full steam Bm D He's chasing the American dream Bm And he's gonna give his family finer things
D Bm x2
[Verse 1]
D Bm D Not this time son, I've no time to waste Bm D Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play Bm D And then he slips into his new BMW Bm And drives farther and farther and farther away
[Pre-chorus 1]
Em D/F# G 'Cause he works all day and tries to sleep at night Em D/F# G He says things will get better; better in time
[Chorus]
D G Bm G 'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands D G Bm G And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand Bm D G But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in Bm D G D Bm Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands D Bm His kingdom stands
[Verse 2]
D Bm His American dream is begining to seem D Bm More and more like a nightmare D with every passing day Bm "Daddy, can you come to my game?" D "Oh baby, please don't work late." Bm Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em G D 'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night Em G He tells them things will get better D It'll just take a little more time
[Chorus]
D G Bm G 'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands D G Bm G And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand Bm D G But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in Bm D G D Bm Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands D Bm His kingdom stands
[Verse 3]
D Bm He used to say, "Who ever died with the most toys wins." D Bm But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end D I'll take a shack on a rock Bm Over a castle in the sand
[Pre-chorus 3]
Em D/F# G D Now he works all day and cries alone at night Em D/F# G It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time
[Chorus]
D G Bm G 'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands D G Bm G And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand Bm D G But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in Bm D G D Bm Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands D Bm His kingdom stands
[Outro]
D All they really wanted was you D All they really wanted was you D All they really wanted was you
D
