[D] All [Bm] work no play, may have made Jack [D] a dull boy
But all work no [Bm] guy, has left Jack [D] with a lost soul
But he's moving on [Bm] full steam, he's chasing the American [D] dream
He's gonna give [Bm] his family, a [D] finer thing
[Bm]
[D] Not [Bm] this time son, of no [D] time to waste
Maybe [Bm] tomorrow, we'll have [D] time to play
And then he slips [Bm] into, his new BMW
[D] And drives farther and [Bm] farther, farther [Em] away
Cause he works [G] all day, and tries to sleep at [D] night
[E] He says things will [G] get better, better [D] in time
So [G] he works, [B] and he builds, [G] in his own [D] two hands
[G] And he pulls [B] all he had, in [G] a castle made [Bm] with sand
But the [D] wind and the [G] rain, are coming crashing [B] in
Time will [D] tell [G] just how long, his kingdom [D] stays
[Bm] His kingdom [D] stays,
[Bm] [D] his American [Bm] dream
He's beginning [D] to see, more and more like [Bm] a nightmare
With every [D] passing day, daddy can you come to my [Bm] game
[G] Oh baby please don't work [D] all day, another wasted [Bm] weekend
And he slips [E] away
Cause he works [G] all day, and lies awake [D] at night
[Em] He says [D] things will get [G] better, just take a little more [D] time
So [G] he works, and [B] he builds, in [G] his own two [D] hands
And [G] he pulls all [B] he [G] had, in a castle made with [B] sand
But [D] the wind and [G] the rain, are coming crashing [B] in
Time [D] will tell just [G] how long, his kingdom [D] stays
His kingdom stays
You [G] [D]
used to say whoever [G] dies, with the most toys [D] wins
But if he loses his [Bm] [G] soul, what has he gained in [D] the end
I'll take a shack on a rock, or a castle [Em] where to stand
Now he [G] works all day, and cries alone at [D] night
[Em] It's not [G] getting any better, looks like he's running out of [D] time
Cause [G] he works, and [Bm] he builds, in [G] his own [D] two hands
[G] And he pulls all [Bm] he [G] had, in a castle made with [B] sand
But [D] the wind and [G] the rain, are coming crashing [B] in
Time [D] will tell just [G] how long, his kingdom [D] [G] stays
[B] [A] His kingdom [D] stays
[G]
[B] [A] [D] All I really want is you
All I really want is you
All I really want is you
[G] [N]
