CE7
Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
FG7
Just to let me down… and mess me around?
CE7
And then worst of all, you never call baby
FG7
When you say you will, but I love you still
CC7
I need you… more than anyone, darling
FFm
You know that I have from the start
CGFCG
So build me up, Buttercup, don’t break my heart
[Verse]
CGBbF
“I’ll be over at ten”, you tell me time and again
CF
But you’re late, I’m waiting round and then
CGBbF
I go to the door, I can’t take it anymore
CF
It’s not you, you let me down again
G7Dm
Hey hey hey
[Pre-Chorus]
DmG
Baby, baby - try to find
EmA7
A little time, and I’ll make you happy
DmD7G
I’ll be home, I’ll be beside the phone, waiting for you
GG7
Ooo-oo-oo-ooo Ooo-oo-oo-ooo
[Chorus]
CE7
Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
FG7

And then worst of all, you never call baby

CC7
I need you… more than anyone, darling
FFm
You know that I have from the start
CGFCG
So build me up, Buttercup, don’t break my heart
[Verse]
CGBbF
To you I’m a toy, but I could be the boy
CDm
You adore, if you’d just let me know
CGBbF
Although you’re untrue, I’m attracted to you
CF
All the more… Why do I need you so?
G7Dm
Hey hey hey
[Pre-Chorus]
DmG
Baby, baby - try to find
EmA7
A little time, and I’ll make you happy

I’ll be home, I’ll be beside the phone, waiting for you
