C​​Build Me Up, Buttercup, Foundations, 1969

[C] [E] [F] [G] (X 2)

[Chorus]

Why do you [C] build me up, [E] Buttercup, baby
Just to [F] let me down? And [G] mess me around
And then, [C] worst of all, You [E] never call, baby
When you [F] say you will, But [G] I love you still
I need [C] you, More than [C7] anyone, darling
You [F] know that I have from the Fm start
So [C] build me up, [G] Buttercup, don’t break my [F] heart C

[Verse 1]
“I’ll be [C] over at [Bb] ten”, you told me [F] time and again
But you’re [C] late, I wait [F] around and then
I [C] went to the [Bb] door, I can’t [F] take any more
It’s not [C] you, you let me [F] down again (Hey, hey, hey)

[Pre-Chorus]
[F] Baby, baby, try to [G] find (Hey, hey, hey)
[Em] A little time and [A7] I’ll make you happy (Hey, hey, hey)
[F] I’ll be home, I’ll be [D] beside the phone waiting for [G] you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

[Chorus]

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