[Chorus 1]
G                C
 Why do you build me up
    E7
Butter cup, baby
        F
Just to let me down?
    G
And mess me around
               C
And then, worst of all
    E7
You never call, baby
         F
When you say you will
    G
But I love you still
          C
I need you
           C7
More than anyone, darling
    F                         Fm
You know that I have from the start
   C
So build me up

   G                       |F  E.D.C.|G  |
Buttercup, don't break my heart

[Verse 1]
G         C            
 "I'll be over at ten",
G            Bb            F
 you told me time and again
                C        F
But you're late, I wait around and then
  C                
I went to the door,
G            Bb      F
 I can't take any more
             C           F         Em
It's not you, you let me down again
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm            G          F
  Baby, baby, try to find
Em                  A7
  A little time and I'll make you happy
F             
I'll be home, 
          D7                         G
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
 
[Chorus 2]
G                C
 Why do you build me up
    E7
Butter cup, baby
        F
Just to let me down?
    G
And mess me around
               C
And then, worst of all

You never call, baby
         F
When you say you will
    G
But I love you still
          C
I need you
           C7
More than anyone, darling
    F                         Fm
You know that I have from the start
   C
So build me up

Buttercup, don't break my heart

[Verse 2]
G   C              
 To you, I'm a toy,
G      Bb              F         C
 but I could be the boy you adore
              F
If you'd just let me know
  C                    
Although you're untrue,
G          Bb        F            C
 I'm attracted to you all the more
         F           Em
Why do I need you so?
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm            G          F
  Baby, baby, try to find
Em                  A7
  A little time and I'll make you happy
F             
I'll be home, 
          D7                         G
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
