Intro  
D5                        B5                                       D5 
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy 
                       B5                                        D5       
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul 
                         D5 
But he's moving on full steam 
B5                                              D5 
He's chasing the American dream 
                                           B5             
And he's gonna give his family finer things

verse 1 
D5                  B5                                           D5 
Not this time son I've no time to waste 
                    B5                             D5 
Maybe Tomorrow we'll have time to play  
                                    B5                            D5 
And then he slips into his new BMW 
                                        B5                                      E5 
And drives farther and farther and farther away

E5                                G5                                     D5 
'Cause  he works all day and tries to sleep at night

So he works and he builds with his own two hands 
D5                   G5                  B5                   
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand  
D5                   G5                 B5              
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in  
D5                 G5                                         D5           D5 B5 G5

His American dream is begining to seem  
D5                                                  B5 
More and More like a nightmare 
                                         D5 
with every passing day 
                                                            B5 
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"  
                                                        D5 
"Oh Baby, please don't work late." 
                                              B5 
Another wasted weekend 
                           E5 
And they are slipping away

E5                                 G5                                           D5 
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night  
E5                                           G5

Just take a little more time

So he works and he builds with his own two hands 
D5                   G5                  B5                   
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand  
D5                   G5                 B5

D5                                                B5           
He used to say, "Who ever died with the most toys wins." 
D5                                   B5 
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end 
D5 
I'll take a shack on a rock

Over a castle in the sand

?Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands 
D5                    G5                  B5
