Casting Crowns - American dream

^CAll work no play^Am may have made Jack a dull ^Cboy But all work no ^AmGod has left Jack with a lost ^Csoul But he's moving^C on full steam ^AmHe's chasing the American dream ^C And he's gonna give his family^Am finer things

^CNot this time ^Amson I've no time to waste ^C Maybe Tomo^Amrrow we'll have time to play ^C And then he slips into ^Amhis new BMW ^C And drives farther and far^Amther and farther away ^D

^D'Cause he works all d^Fay and tries to sleep at ni^Cght ^DHe says things will get better^F; better in time ^C

^C'Cause he works and^Fm he builds with his o^Amwn two hands ^CAnd he pours ^Fmall he has in a c^Amastle made with sand ^CBut the wind a^Fmnd the rain are^Am comin' crashing in ^CTime will tell^Fm just how long his kingdom s^Ctands ^{C Am Fm} His kingdom sta^Cnd^Ams ^Fm

^CHis American dream i^Ams begining to seem ^CMore and More like a nightmare^Am with every passing day ^C "Daddy, can you come to my g^Amame?" "Oh Baby, please don't work la^Cte." Another wasted weekend ^Am And they are slipping away ^D Pre-Chorus 2 ^D'Cause he works all da^Fy and lies awake at night ^{C D}He tells them things will get^F better It'll just take a little more time ^C

^CHe used to say, "Who ever ^Amdied with the most toys wins." ^CBut if he loses his soul, ^Amwhat has he gained in the end ^CI'll take a shack on a rock ^AmOver a castle in the sand ^D

^DNow he works all day a^Fnd cries alone at night ^{C D}It's not getting any better ^F

^CAll they really wanted was you ^CAll they really wanted was you ^CAll they really wanted was you
