{ CHORUS }<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do<\/span> you [C] <\/span>build me up<\/span>, [E] <\/span>Buttercup, baby<\/span>
\n<\/span>Just to [F] <\/span>let me down? And [G] <\/span>mess me around<\/span>
\n<\/span>And then, [C] <\/span>worst of all<\/span>,<\/span> You [E] <\/span>never call, baby<\/span>
\n<\/span>When you [F] <\/span>say you will<\/span>, <\/span>But [G] <\/span>I love you still<\/span>
\n<\/span>I need [C] <\/span>you<\/span>,<\/span> More than [<\/span>C7]<\/span> anyone, darling<\/span>
\n<\/span>You [F] <\/span>know that I have <\/span>from the<\/span> Fm<\/span> start<\/span>
\n<\/span>So [C] <\/span>build me up<\/span>, [G] <\/span>Buttercup, don’t break my [F] <\/span>heart<\/span> C<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>[Verse 1]<\/span>
\n<\/span>“I’ll be [C] <\/span>over<\/span> at [<\/span>Bb]<\/span> ten”, you told me [F] <\/span>time and again<\/span>
\n<\/span>But you’re [C] <\/span>late, I wait [F] <\/span>around and then<\/span>
\n<\/span>I [C] <\/span>went to the [<\/span>Bb]<\/span> door, I can’t [F] <\/span>take any more<\/span>
\n<\/span>It’s not [C] <\/span>you, you let me [F] <\/span>down again (Hey, hey, hey)<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>[Pre-Chorus]<\/span>
\n<\/span>[F]<\/span> Baby, baby<\/span>, try to [G] <\/span>find (Hey, hey, hey)<\/span>
\n<\/span>[Em]<\/span> A little time and [<\/span>A7]<\/span> I’ll make you happy (Hey, hey, hey)<\/span>
\n<\/span>[F]<\/span> I’ll be home, I’ll be [<\/span>D]<\/span> beside the phone waiting for [G] <\/span>you<\/span>
\n<\/span>Ooh <\/span>ooh<\/span> ooh<\/span>, ooh <\/span>ooh<\/span> ooh<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[<\/span>Chorus<\/span>]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To [C] <\/span>you, I’m a [G] <\/span>toy, but I<\/span> Bb<\/span> could be the<\/span> [F] boy you [C] <\/span>adore<\/span>
\n<\/span>If you’d just<\/span> [F] let me know (Ba-dah-dah)<\/span>
\n<\/span>C <\/span>Although you’re [G] <\/span>untrue, I’m <\/span>Bb<\/span> attracted to [F] <\/span>you all the <\/span>C<\/span>more<\/span>
\n<\/span>Why do I [F] <\/span>need you so? (Hey, hey, hey)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
