C E7
Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
F G
Just to let me down and mess me around?
C
And then worst of all
E7 F
You never call, baby, when you say you will
G
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 F C G
So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart
[Verse 1]
C G Bb F
"I'll be over at ten, " you tell me time and again
C F
But you're late, I wait around and then
C G Bb F
I go to the door, and I can't take it anymore
C F
It's not you, you let me down again
Dm
Baby, baby, try to find
Em
A little time and I'll make you happy
F Dm G G
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you, ooh, you
[Chorus]
