Album: Lincoln
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#
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# F#
to mend her heart, to help him start
F#m G A
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:
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
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
