[C] [E7] [F] [G]

Chorus

[C] [E7]

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby

[F] [G]

Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around

[C] [E7]

And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby

[F] [G]

When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still

[C] [C7]

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'

[F] [Fm]

You know that I have from the start

[C] [G]

So build me up Buttercup,

[F] [C/E] [G/D] [C] [G]

Don't break my heart

Verse 1

[C] [G] [Bb] [F]

"I'll be over at ten," you told me time and again

[C] [F]

But you're late, I wait around and then

[C] [G] [Bb] [F]

I went to the door, I can't take any more

[C] [F]

It's not you, you let me down again

Pre-Chorus

[F] [C] [Dm] [G]

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find

[G] [Fm] [Em] [A7]

(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you happy

[F]

I'll be home

[D7] [G]

I'll be beside the phone waiting for you

[G]

Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Chorus

[C] [E7]

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby

[F] [G]

Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around

[C] [E7]

And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby

[F] [G]

When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still

[C] [C7]

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'

[F] [Fm]

You know that I have from the start

[C] [G]

So build me up (build me up) Buttercup,

[F] [C/E] [G/D] [C] [G]

Don't break my heart

Verse 2

[C] [G] [Bb] [F]

To you I'm a toy but I could be the boy you

[C] [F]

Adore, if you'd just let me know

[C] [G]

Although you're untrue,

[Bb] [F] [C]

I'm attracted to you all the more

[F]

Why do I need you so

Pre-Chorus

[F] [C] [Dm] [G]

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find

[G] [Fm] [Em] [A7]

(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you happy

[F]

I'll be home

[D7] [G]

I'll be beside the phone waiting for you

[G]

Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Chorus
