Why do you build me up (build me

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

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
