A
You say I'm the greatest bound for glory
                            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

Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I never saw you breaking no law
Stands to reason I've got to leave you alone
What're you taking 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

You think I care about your reaction
You think I don't understand
All you wanted was a piece of the action
Now you talk about another man
