Verse 1:



A

You say I'm the greatest, bound for glory

				 E   

Well the word is out and I learned

A

I got the latest side of the story

        G          D              A

You're pulling out before you get burned





Verse 2:



A

Well your hands are squeezing me, down to the bone

                               E

I never saw you breaking no law

A

Stands to reason I've got to leave you alone

G          D         A

 What you take me for





Chorus:



    A                              D

Cos you're setting me up to put me down

             E                        A

You're just making me out to be your clown

           A                        D

You're just setting me up to put me down

            E

You better give it up (give it up), give it up

                        A

Quit your messing round





Fills in chorus:



  You're setting me up

Verse 3:



A

You think I care about your reaction

                         E

You think I don't understand

A

All you wanted was a piece of the action

G         D                A

Now you talk about another man
