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