It takes a crane to build a crane

And It takes some work to make it work

Verse 2 - Strumming -
                            Em
It takes a night to make it dawn

                               Am
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother

                              C
It takes some old to make you young

                               C
It takes some cold to know the sun

                             G        B
It takes the one to have the other
Drums
                                Em
And It takes no time to fall in love

                                    Am
But it takes you years to know what love is

                                    C
And It takes some fears to make you trust

                                C
It takes those tears to make it rust

                             G          B
It takes the dust to have it polished
[Chorus 2]

                              Em
It takes some silence to make sound

                               Am
And It takes a loss before you found it

                          C
And It takes a road to go nowhere

                            C
It takes a toll to make you care

                          G          B
It takes a hole to make a mountain
