Intro  
D Bm D
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
Bm D
But all work no God has left Jack 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 D
Not this time son I've no time to waste
Bm D
Maybe Tomorrow we'll have time to play
Bm D
And then he slips into his new BMW
Bm E
And drives farther and farther and farther away

Pre-Chorus 1
E G D
'Cause he works all day and tries to sleep at night
E G D
He says things will get better; better in time

Chorus
D Gm Bm
So he works and he builds with his own two hands
D Gm Bm
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
D Gm Bm
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
D Gm D D Bm Gm
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
D Bm Gm
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
E
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
E G
He tells them things will get better
D
Just take a little more time

Chorus
D Gm Bm
So he works and he builds with his own two hands
D Gm Bm
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
D Gm Bm
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
D Bm Gm
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

Over a castle in the sand

Pre-Chorus 3

Now he works all day and cries alone at night

It's not getting any better

Looks like he's running out of time

Chorus

?Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands
D Gm Bm
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
D Gm Bm
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
D Bm Gm
His kingdom stands
