American Dream

INTRO:
D               Hm                         D
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
                Hm                            D
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
               D
But he's moving on full steam
Hm                               D
He's chasing the American dream
                              Hm
And he's gonna give his family finer things
 
 D  Hm   D  Hm
 VERSE:
D             Hm                           D
Not this time son I've no time to waste
          Hm                             D
Maybe Tomorrow we'll have time to play 
                       Hm             D
And then he slips into his new 
                          Hm                       E
And drives farther and farther and farther away
 
PRE-CHORUS:
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                   Hm
'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands
D            Gm               Hm
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand 
D             Gm             Hm
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in 
D             Gm                          D      D  Hm Gm
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
               D Hm  Gm
His kingdom stands
 
VERSE 2:
D                   Hm
His American dream is begining to seem 
D                             Hm
More and More like a nightmare
                       D
with every passing day
                                 Hm
"Daddy, can you come to my game?" 
                                   D
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
                         Hm
Another wasted weekend
                           E
And they are slipping away

PRE-CHORUS: 2
E                     G                          D
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night 
E                             G
He tells them  things will get better
                                    D
It'll just take a little more time
 
CHORUS:
 VERSE 3:
D                              Hm
He used to say, "Who ever died with the most toys wins."
D                         Hm
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
D
I'll take a shack on a rock 
Hm                        E
Over a castle in the sand
 
PRE-CHORUS: 3
E                     G                          D
Now he works all day and cries alone at night 
E                             G
It's not getting any better 
 
Looks like he's running out of time
 
CHORUS:

All they really wanted was you
D
All they really wanted was you
D
All they really wanted was you
