D5		 D/B
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
D5		    D/B
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
D5
But he's moving on full steam
D/B
He's chasing the American dream
D5		              D/B	     D5	   D/B	   D5	  D/B
And he's gonna give his family the finer things


D5		  D/B
Not this time son I've no time to waste
D5	       D/B
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
D5		       D/B
And then he slips into his new BMW
D5		    D/B
And drives farther and farther and farther away


E5	     F#5  G5			      D5
So He works all day and tries to sleep at night
E5			      F#5 - G
He says things will get better;

Better in time



D5	     G5	      B5	     G5
And he works and he builds with his own two hands
D5	  G5	       B5	       G5
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
B5	 D5	      G5
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
B5	   D5		 G5		       D5
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
D/B		  D5   D/B
His kingdom stands


D5	      D/B
His American Dream is beginning to seem
D5			     D/B
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
D5			         D/B
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
D5		      D/B
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away


E5		    F#5   G5		      D5
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
E5				   F#5 – G5
He tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time


D5	     G5	       B5	     G5
And he works and he builds with his own two hands
D5	  G5		B5	      G5
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
B5	 D5	     G5
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
B5	   D5		G5		       D5
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
D/B		  D5   D/B
His kingdom stands


D5			       D/B
He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
D5			  D/B
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
D5
I'll take a shack on the rock
D/B
Over a castle in the sand
E5		  F#5  G5		     D5
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
E5			   F#5 – G5
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time


D5	   G5		B5	       G5
'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
D5	G5	     B5	             G5
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
B5	 D5	      G5
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
B5		D5	 G5		       D5   G5   B5
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
G5		  D5   G5   B5
His kingdom stands


D5
All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
                                   D5 
All they really wanted was You
