Why do you build me up (build me 
    E7
up) Buttercup, baby
        F                        
Just to let me down (let me down) 
     G
and mess me around
         C                         
And then worst of all (worst of 
  E7
all) you never call, baby
         F                         
When you say you will (say you 
      G
will) but I love you still
       C

"I'll be over at ten," you told me 
Bb       F
time and again
             C          F
But you're late, I wait around and 
then
  C           G             Bb   
I went to the door, I can't take 
    F
any more
         C               F
It's not you, you let me down again
