Start Jamming...
[D] All [Bm] work no play, may have made Jack [D] a dull boy, but all work no guy, [Bm] has left Jack with
[D] a lost soul.
But he's moving on full steam, he's chasing the American dream, he's gonna give [Bm] his family
a [D] finer thing.
[Bm]
[D] Not [Bm] this time son, I've 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 [D] all [G] day and tries to sleep [D] at [E] night.
He says things will get [Gm] better, better [D] in time.
So [G] he works [Bm] and he builds [G] in his own [D] two hands.
[G] And he pulls [B] all he had, and [G] the guys were made [Bm] with him.
But don't [D] wear and don't [G] rain, our heaven's crashing in.
[B] Time for [D] them, [G] just not long, this [D] kingdom's staying.
[Bm] This [D] kingdom's staying.
[Bm] [D] Well this American [Bm] dream, is beginning [D] to seem, more and more like a nightmare.
With every passing day, daddy can you come to my [Bm] game?
[G] Oh baby please don't work [D] again, another wasted weekend.
And they are slipping [E] away.
Cause he works [G] all day and lies awake [D] at night.
[Em] He tells [D] them things will get [G] better, just take a little more [D] time.
So [G] he works and [B] he builds in [G] his own [D] two hands.
And [G] he pulls [B] all he had, and [G] the guys were made with [B] him.
But don't [D] wear and [G] don't rain, our heaven's crashing [B] in.
Time for [D] them, [G] just not long, this [D] kingdom's staying.
This kingdom's staying.
[Bm]
[D] He used to say whoever [G] dies, with the most [D] toys wins.
But if it loses its [G] soul, it has a game in [D] the end.
I take a shack on a rock, over a castle [Em] in the sand.
Now [F#] he works [G] all day and cries alone [D] at night.
[Em] It's not getting [G] any better, looks like it's running out [D] of time.
[G] Cause he works and [Bm] he builds in [G] his own [D] two hands.
And [G] he pulls all [Bm] he [G] had, and the guys were made with [B] him.
But [D] don't wear and don't [G] rain, our heaven's crashing [Bm] in.
Time for [D] them, [G] just not long, this [D] kingdom's staying.
[G] [B] This [A] [D] kingdom's staying.
[G] [B] [A] [D] All the little ones will miss you.
All the little ones will miss you.
All the little ones will miss you.
