This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

C E
Why do you build me up, Buttercup, baby
F G
Just to let me down? And mess me around
C E
And then, worst of all You never call, baby
F G
When you say you will, But I love you still
C C7/Bb
I need you More than anyone, darling
F/A Fm/Ab
You know that I have from the start
C G F /E /D C G
So build me up, Buttercup, don't break my heart
C G Bb F
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
C F
But you're late, I wait around and then
C G Bb F
I went to the door, I can't take any more
C F /E
It's not you, you let me down again
Dm G
Baby, baby, try to find
Em Am
A little time and I'll make you happy
F D G
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
C G Bb F C
To you, I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
F
If you'd just let me know
C G Bb F C
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
F /E
Why do I need you so
