|: 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)


Coda:
|:               D                     - :|
