[Verse 1]
D                  Bm
You talk about the junk you did
          D                   Bm
Like you talk about climbing trees
D               Bm
You look like a little kid
     G               A
With bruises on your knees


[Verse 2]
D              Bm
You will never cop
        D                 Bm
To the damage that's been done
D              Bm
You will never stop
         G        A
Cos it's too much fun


[Chorus]
G                A       D           Bm
Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
G          A                D
Good luck finding your buttercup


[Verse 3]
D           Bm
You already suck me dry
      D              Bm
Can't do it any more honey
D                   Bm
You rough me up and make me cry
        G             A
And you wanna borrow money


[Verse 4]
     D                  Bm
You say you feel like a failure
    D                         Bm
And wish you cold take it all back
     D             Bm
Well honey I gotta tell you
       G                    A
It's a little too late for that


[Chorus]
G                A       D           Bm
Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
G          A                D
Good luck finding your buttercup


[Verse 5]
D                    Bm
One reason after the other
       D              Bm
You're always feeling bad
      D                         Bm
Maybe you couldn't talk to your mother
   G                 A
Or stand up to your dad


[Verse 6]
D                Bm
You want my forgiveness
D                 Bm
That I'll give to you
    D                 Bm
But you got yourself in this mess
        G             A
There's nothing I can do


[Chorus]
G                A       D           Bm
Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
G          A                D
Good luck finding your buttercup


[Verse 7]
D            Bm
First time I saw you
D                 Bm
You would make me melt
D                Bm
The last time I saw you
    G             A
You hit below the belt


[Verse 8]
    D                      Bm
You might have a beautiful mouth
    D                    Bm
You might have beautiful eyes
    D                      Bm
But sooner or later, it'll all go south
    G             A
You tell too many lies


[Outro]
G                A       D           Bm
Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
G          A                D
Good luck finding your buttercup
G          A                D
Good luck finding your buttercup
G          A                D
Good luck finding your buttercup
