      Love sees love's happiness
  G           A                           D  A            D   A
   but happiness can't see that love is sad, that love is sad
 Em          Bm
 sadness is hanging there
 G           A                            D 
 to show love somewhere something needs a change
 A           D
 they need a change
  
 Chorus:
 A              D      A              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
  
 A               D     A              D  
 they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
           D        A       G
 to pick the broken ruins up again
            F#m                -
 to mend her heart, to help him start
         F#m        G        A 
 to see a world apart from pain

 some things gal says to lad
 G           A                           D  
 aren't mean't as bad but cause a little pain
 A              D
 they cause him pain
