[Verse 1]
Em                 Bm
  Love sees love's happiness
G           A                           D
  but happiness can't see that love is sad
                D
  That love is sad
Em           Bm
  sadness is hanging there
G               A                           D
  to show love somewhere something needs a change
              D
they need a change

[Chorus]
               D                     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              F#m
to make it break it's gonna take
        F#m       G      A
a metal ball hung from a chain
               D
they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
            D      A     G
to pick the broken ruins up again
            F#m                F#m
to mend her heart, to help him start
         F#m    G         A
to see a world apart from pain

[Verse 2]
Em             Bm
  Lad's gal is all he has
G                A                      D
  gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad,
               D
  the love of lad
Em                Bm
  some things gal says to lad
G                  A                      D
  aren't mean't as bad but cause a little pain
                 D
  they cause him pain

[Chorus]
               D                     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              F#m
to make it break it's gonna take
        F#m       G      A
a metal ball hung from a chain
               D
they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
            D      A     G
to pick the broken ruins up again
            F#m                F#m
to mend her heart, to help him start
         F#m    G         A
to see a world apart from pain

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

Em             Bm
  Lad looks at other gals
G                A                      D

  he isn't bad
Em             Bm
