[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
