Intro:
   C E F G
   C E7 F G
 
Chorus:
           C           E7
Why do you build me up Buttercup, baby 
        F              G
Just to let me down and mess me around 
         C             E7
And then worst of all you never call, baby 
         F             G
When you say you will but I love you still 
       C   C7
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   
Don't break my heart 

 
Verse:
          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:
C    Dm
Baby, baby, try to find 
Fm   Em
A little time and I'll make you mine 
 F
I'll be home 
        D7                             G
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you 
G  G6  G  G6  G  G6  Open G
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo 
 
Chorus:
           C           E7

        F              G
Just to let me down and mess me around 
         C             E7
And then worst of all you never call, baby 
         F             G
When you say you will but I love you still 
           C7
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     G
Don't break my heart 
 
Verse:
   C         G         Bb           F

 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
