American Dreams

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                     E
And drives farther and farther and farther away

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

Chorus
D             Gm                    Bm
So he works and he builds with 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                           D    D Bm Gm
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
Continúa después del anuncio
             D   Bm Gm
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                          D
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
E                              G
He tells them  things will get better
                             D
Just take a little more time

Chorus
D             Gm                    Bm
So he works and he builds with 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                           D    D Bm Gm
Time will tell just how long his 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                        D
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
E                            G
It's not getting any better

Looks like he's running out of time

Chorus

D             Gm                   Bm
?Cause he works and he builds with 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                           D    D Bm Gm
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
             D   Bm Gm
His kingdom stands
