^{Key: :[C] (w: Mark Knopfler)}

INTRO: [C]

VERSE 1:
[C] You say I'm the greatest, bound for glory
Well the word is out and I learned ^[G] ^[F]
[C] I got the latest side of the story
You're [A#] pulling out [F] before you get [C] burned

VERSE 2:
[C] Well your hands are squeezing me, down to the bone
I never saw you breaking no law ^[G] ^[F]
[C] Stands to reason I've got to leave you alone
[A#] What you [F] take me [C] for

CHORUS:
Cos [C] you're setting me up, to put me [F] down
You're just [G] making me out, to be your [C] clown [C]
You're just [C] setting me up, to put me [F] down
You better [G] give it up, yeah give it up, quit your messing a-[C]-round

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE x2]

VERSE 3:
[C] You think I care about your reaction
You think I don't understand ^[G] ^[F]
[C] All you wanted was a piece of the action
Now you [A#] talk about an-[F]-other [C] man

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO: [G] [C] : [x3]
