American Dream

INTRO:
[D]All work n[Bm]o play may have [D]made Jack a dull boy
But all w[Bm]ork no God has left [D]Jack with a lost soul
But he's [D]moving on full steam
[Bm]He's chasing the Am[D]erican dream
And he's gonna [Bm]give his family finer things

[D] [Bm] [D] [Bm]

VERSE:
[D]Not this [Bm]time son I've no tim[D]e to waste
Mayb[Bm]e Tomorrow we'll h[D]ave time to play
And then he [Bm]slips into h[D]is new
And drives fart[Bm]her and farther [E]and farther away

PRE-CHORUS:
[E]'Cause  he w[G]orks all day and [D]tries to sleep at night
[E]He says things wi[G]ll get bette[D]r; better in time

CHORUS:
[D]'Cause he w[Gm]orks and he b[Bm]uilds with his own two hands
[D]And he [Gm]pours all he [Bm]has in a castle made with sand
[D]But the w[Gm]ind and th[Bm]e rain are comin' crashing in
[D]Time will[Gm] tell just how long [D]his k[D]in[Bm]gdo[Gm]m stands
His king[D]do[Bm]m st[Gm]ands

VERSE 2:
[D]His America[Bm]n dream is begining to seem
[D]More and More lik[Bm]e a nightmare
with every p[D]assing day
"Daddy, can you c[Bm]ome to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please d[D]on't work late."
Another wast[Bm]ed weekend
And they are sl[E]ipping away

PRE-CHORUS 2:
[E]'Cause he wo[G]rks all day and [D]lies awake at night
[E]He tells them  thi[G]ngs will get better
It'll just take a little [D]more time

CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
[D]He used to say, "W[Bm]ho ever died with the most toys wins."
[D]But if he loses [Bm]his soul, what has he gained in the end
[D]I'll take a shack on a rock
[Bm]Over a castle in t[E]he sand

PRE-CHORUS 3:
[E]Now he work[G]s all day and cri[D]es alone at night
[E]It's not getting an[G]y better

Looks like he's running out of time

CHORUS:
OUTRO:
[D]All they really wanted was you
[D]All they really wanted was you
[D]All they really wanted was you
