CHORUS:
             D                            D7
Why do you build me up (build me up), buttercup baby,
         G                             A
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
           D
And then worst of all (worst of all), 
     D7                       G
You never call baby when you say you will (say you will)
    A                         D                           D7
But I love you still, I need you (I need you) more than anyone darling,
     G                         Gm        D                             A
You know that I have from the start, so build me up (build me up) buttercup
                G    G F#m Em D
Don’t break my heart


          D      A               G                          D
I’ll be over at ten you told me time and again, but you’re late, 
         G                 
I wait around and then, 
    D          A             G
I run to the door, I can’t take anymore
          D               G           G   F#m   Em
It’s not you, you let me down again (hey, hey, hey)
Em                         Em    Em   F#m                                  
Baby, baby, I try to find (hey, hey, hey) 
                    B  
a little time and I’ll make you mine
         Em             E                           A
I’ll be home; I’ll be beside the phone waitin’ for you
 (OOooo, OOooo)  
REPEAT CHORUS

  D      A            G                                                D
You are my toy but I could be the boy you adore, if you’d just let me know
D               A             G                   D
I know you are true I’m attracted to you all the more, 
            G          G     F#m  Em
Why do I need you so (hey, hey, hey)
Em                         Em    Em   F#m                
Baby, baby, I try to find (hey, hey, hey)
                      B
 a little time and I’ll make you mine
Em                      E                           A
I’ll be home; I’ll be beside the phone waitin’ for you (OOooo, OOooo)
