American Dreams

Intro
D                Bm              
All work no play may have made 
          D
Jack a dull boy
            Bm                   
But all work no God has left Jack 
        D
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                 
Not this time son I've no time to
       D
 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 
             E
farther away

Pre-Chorus 1
E                     G          
'Cause  he works all day and 
               D
tries to sleep at night
E                             
He says things will get better; 
G                D
better in time

Chorus
D             Gm                 
So he works and he builds with 
   Bm
his own two hands
D           Gm               Bm
And he pours all he has in a castle 
made with sand
D            Gm             Bm
But the wind and the rain are comin'
 crashing in
D             Gm                 
Time will tell just how long his 
          D    D Bm Gm
kingdom stands

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
                 E
And they are slipping away

Pre-Chorus 2
E                     G          
'Cause he works all day and lies 
                D
awake at night
E                            
He tells them  things will get 
  G
better
                             D
Just take a little more time

Chorus
D             Gm                 
So he works and he builds with 
   Bm
his own two hands
D           Gm               Bm
And he pours all he has in a castle 
made with sand
D            Gm             Bm
But the wind and the rain are comin'
 crashing in
D             Gm                 
Time will tell just how long his 
          D    D Bm Gm
kingdom stands
             D   Bm Gm
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                        E
Over a castle in the sand

Pre-Chorus 3
E                     G          
Now he works all day and cries 
              D
alone at night
E                            G
It's not getting any better

Looks like he's running out of time

Chorus

D             Gm                  
?Cause he works and he builds with
 Bm
 his own two hands
D           Gm               Bm
And he poured all he had in a castle
 made with sand
D            Gm             Bm
But the wind and the rain are comin'
 crashing in
D             Gm                 
Time will tell just how long his 
          D    D Bm Gm
kingdom stands
             D   Bm Gm
His kingdom stands
