Why do you [C#] build me up, [Fm] buttercup baby

Don't break my [F#] heart [/F#/F/D#/C#] [G#]

VERSE 1:
I'll be [C#] over at [G#] ten you told me [B] time and [F#] again
But you're [C#] late I wait a-[F#]-round and then

It's not [C#] you you let me [F#] down again

^[F#] Hey ^[C#/F] hey [D#m] hey baby baby [G#] try to find
^[G#] Hey ^[F#] hey [Fm] hey a little time and [A#] I'll make you mine
^[A#] Hey ^[G#] hey [F#] hey I'll be home

[C#] You are my [G#] toy but I [B] could be the [F#] boy
