Why do you build me up buttercup baby, 
           C               D 
don't you let me down and mess me around. 
          G               Bm 
And then worst of all you never call baby, 
          C                D 
when you say you will, but I love you still. 

        G             F

don't break my heart. 

        G             D           F         C 
I'll be over at ten, you told me time and again.

I know you're late, I wait around and then 
   G           D            F       C 
I run to the door, I can't take anymore. 
        G                  C          C/B 
But I know you you let me down again.
