Standard (EADGBE)
Love sees love's happiness
but happiness can't see that love is sad
That love is sad
sadness is hanging there
to show love somewhere something needs a change
they need a change
Chorus
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
to take the house he built for her apart
to make it break it's gonna take
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
Verse 2
Lad's gal is all he has
gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad, 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
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
to take the house he built for her apart
to make it break it's gonna take
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
Bridge
Don't call me at work again, oh no the boss still hates me
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore and there's a restaurant
we should check out where the other nightmare people like to go
I mean nice people baby wait I didn't mean to say nightmare
Verse 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
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
to take the house he built for her apart
to make it break it's gonna take
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
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
They'll need a crane
