[Verse 1]

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]

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]

You're setting me up to put me down
                E                                      A
You're making me out to be your clown

You're just setting me up to put me down

You better give it up

Quit your messing around

All you wanted was a piece of the action

Now you talk about another man

Quit your messing around
