Chords for Lucinda Williams - Buttercup

_ _ _ _ That's a new sound.
_ Anyway, um, and David Johanson of the [Eb] New York Dolls, _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ you know,
he made it [D] cool.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] Okay, this is called Buttercup, _ and I [E] wrote this about the same person I wrote
Jailhouse [Bb] Tears about.
_ _ _ It's the only bad boy song on the new [B] album.
I still had, I had
to [C] get a little bit more out of my [Eb] system, you know. _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ You talk about the [Gbm] junk you [A] do, like you talk about climbing trees.
You look like [Gbm] a little
kid with bruises on your knees.
[E] _ I'm sorry, this [Ebm] isn't in the right key. _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] You talk [Gm] about the junk you do, [Bb] like you talk about [Gm] climbing trees.
_ You look like a little
[Eb] kid with bruises on [F] your knees.
_ [Bb] You will [Gm] never come to [Bb] the damage [Gm] that's been done.
_ [Bb] You will [Gm] never stop, [Eb] cause it's too much [F] fun.
[Eb] _ Now you want [G] somebody to [Bb] be your [Gm] _ buttercup. _
[Eb] _ Good [G] luck finding your [Bb] _
buttercup.
[Cm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] You [Gm] already stuck me dry, [Bb] I can't do it [Gm] anymore, honey. _
[Bb] You roughed me up and made me cry, but [Eb] you won't borrow [F] money.
[Bb] You say you feel like
a [Gm] failure, and you wish you could take it [Gm] all back.
[Bb] But honey, I [Gm] gotta tell you, it's
a [Eb] little too late for [F] that.
_ [Eb] Now you want [C] somebody [Bb] to be your _
[Gm] buttercup.
_ [Eb] _ Good [F] luck finding your
[Bb] _ buttercup.
_ [Gm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] One reason [Gm] after the other, _ _ [Bb] you're always feeling [Gm] sad.
_ Maybe you couldn't talk
[Gm] to your mother, _ [Eb] and end up to [F] your dad. _ _
[Bb] You want my [Gm] forgiveness, _ [Bb] and that I will [Gm] give
to you.
[Bb] But you got yourself [Gm] into this mess, [Eb] and there's nothing I [G] can do.
_ [Eb] And now you
want [C] somebody [Bb] to be your [Gm] _ buttercup.
[Eb] _ _
Good luck [F] finding your [C] buttercup. _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] The first time I saw
you, _ [Bb] you made me [Gm] melt. _
[Bb] The last time I [Gm] saw [Eb] you, you hid below the [F] belt.
You [Bb] might have
a beautiful [Gm] mouth, you might have beautiful [Gm]
eyes, [Bb] but sooner or later it all goes [Eb] south.
You tell too many [F] _ lies.
[Eb]
And now you want [F] somebody _ [Bb] to be your [Gm] buttercup.
_ [Eb] _ _ Good [G] luck finding your
[Bb] buttercup.
_ [Gm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ Good [F] luck _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [G] _ finding your _ [Bb] _ buttercup.
