IntroDBmD
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
BmD
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
D
But he's moving on full steam
BmD
He's chasing the American dream
Bm
And he's gonna give his family finer things
D...Bm...x2
Verse 1DBmD
Not this time son I've no time to waste

Maybe Tomorrow we'll have time to play
BmD
And then he slips into his new BMW
BmE
And drives farther and farther and farther away
Pre-Chorus 1EGD
'Cause he works all day and tries to sleep at night
EGD
He says things will get better; better in time
ChorusDGmBm
'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands
DGmBm
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand

But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

His kingdom stands

His American dream is begining to seem

More and More like a nightmare

"Oh Baby, please don't work late."

Another wasted weekend
E
And they are slipping away
Pre-Chorus 2EGD
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night

He tells them things will get better

It'll just take a little more time
ChorusVerse 3DBm
He used to say, "Who ever died with the most toys wins."
DBm
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
D
I'll take a shack on a rock
BmE
Over a castle in the sand
Pre-Chorus 3EGD
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
EG
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time
