|: Em                  Bm
      Love sees love's happiness
  G           A                           D  - :|
   but happiness can't see that love is sad
 sadness is hanging there
 to show love somewhere something needs a change
 they need a change
  
 Chorus:
 |:               D                     -
 They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
                D    /    A       G
 to take the house he built for her apart
             F#m              -
 to make it break it's gonna take
         F#m    /    G       A :|
 a metal ball hung from a chain
  
 they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
 to pick the broken ruins up again
 to mend her heart, to help him start
 to see a world apart from pain
  
 2.
 Lad's gal is all he has
 gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad
 some things gal says to lad
 aren't mean't as bad but cause a little pain
 they cause him pain
  
 (Chorus)
  
 Bridge:
   Em                D            G                   A
 Don't call me at work again, oh no the boss still hates me
            D                Em          G                   A
 I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore and there's a restaurant
            Bm                  D                E             G
 we should check out where the other nightmare people like to go
              D           G             D              A
 I mean nice people baby wait I didn't mean to say nightmare
   
 3.
 Lad looks at other gals
 gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad - he isn't bad
 call off the wedding band
 nobody wants to hear that one again
 play that again
  
 (Chorus)
