American Dream

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 
          D
to waste
          Bm                     
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to 
        D
play
                       Bm          
And then he slips into his new BMW
   D

                          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                        
He says things will get better; 
D/F#     G
better in time

[Chorus]
D                  G             
'Cause he works and he builds 
       Bm  G
with his own two hands
D            G                Bm 
And he pours all he has in a castle 
G
made with sand
Bm             D             G
But the wind and the rain are comin'
 crashing in
Bm             D                 
Time will tell just how long his 
           G      D Bm
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         
'Cause he works all day and lies 
                 D
awake at night
Em                            G
He tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time
D


[Chorus]
D                  G             
'Cause he works and he builds 
       Bm  G
with his own two hands
D            G                Bm 
And he pours all he has in a castle 
G
made with sand
Bm             D             G
But the wind and the rain are comin'
 crashing in
Bm             D                 
Time will tell just how long his 
          G      D Bm
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    
Now he works all day and cries 
                D
alone at night
Em                        D/F#    G
It's not getting any better

Looks like he's running out of time

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