[Intro]
A   A   A   A

[Verse 1]
A
 You say I'm the greatest bound for glory
A                           Em  D
 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
  A                          Em  D
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
You're setting me up to put me down
       E                        A
You're 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
                   A
Quit your messing around


[Instrumental]
A   A   A   Em D
A   A   G D    A

A   A   A   Em D
A   A   G D    A


[Verse 3]
A
 You think I care about your reaction
A                       Em    D
 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


[Chorus]
                  A            D
You're setting me up to put me down
       E                        A
You're 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
                   A
Quit your messing around


[Outro]
E   E   A   A
E   E   A   A
