Chorus
C Am
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 Am
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 Am
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
F
You know that I have from the start
C G
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup,
Am
Don't break my heart
Verse 1
C Am
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
C F
But you're late, I wait around and then
C Am
I went to the door, I can't take any more
C F
It's not you, you let me down again
F
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
G F
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
F#m G
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
(Chorus)
F
You know that I have from the start
C
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup,
Am
Don't break my heart
Verse 2
C Am
You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
C
If you'd just let me know
F
Although you're untrue,
C Am
I'm attracted to you all the more
C F
Why do I need you so
F
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
G F
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
F#m
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
(Chorus)
F
You know that I have from the start
C
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup,
Am
Don't break my heart
F
You know that I have from the start
C
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup,
Am
Don't break my heart
