The Set Up

Tom: E

E  E6
E  E6


[Verse 1]
E                       E6
Set-up, set-up for the sake of a comfortable home
E          E6
Too young, too young to take control
E
Mother's little weapon for when Father broke the rules
         E6
He never wanted her or me
E6
He just wanted to be free
          E
There's a risk and a twist
                                         E6
And all this from the girl you missed by minutes
E6
On the day you were hit


[Pre-Chorus]
E                  E6
Set-up, every opportunity to make me like them
E                   E6
Set-up, born into a world where I had no control


[Chorus]
B
One, set-up leads to another
G#m
Two, set-up for lie to each other
B
One, set-up leads to another one
G#m
Two, set-up for lie
        E     E6
To each other


[Verse 2]
         E
And it's all been a frame
            E6
I've got to change my appearance
E6
And get rid of the name
     E
They did it with mirrors
E6
They did it without pain
      E
I was set up and held up and stuffed in a cage
E6
Don't get up and say it was some other mother
    E
I'm sure enough it was you that planted me
         E6
Is there anyone out there
E6
Who can change this atmosphere


[Pre-Chorus]
E                  E6
Set-up, every opportunity to make me like them
E                   E6
Set-up, born into a world where I had no control


[Chorus]
B
One, set-up leads to another
G#m
Two, set-up for lie to each other
B
One, set-up leads to another one
G#m
Two, set-up for lie
        E6
To each other


[Bridge]
A          B      E6
They did it, with teachers
A          B         E6
They did it, without pain
A                        B                        E6
They couldn't think of a number so they gave me a name


[Pre-Chorus]
E                  E6
Set-up, every opportunity to make me like them
E                   E6
Set-up, born into a world where I had no control


[Chorus]
B
One, set-up leads to another
G#m
Two, set-up for lie to each other
B
One, set-up leads to another one
G#m
Two, set-up for lie
        E6
To each other
B
One, set-up leads to another one
G#m
Two, set-up for lie
        E6
To each other


[Outro]
A          B      E6
They did it, with kindness
A          B        E6
They did it, with a smile
A          B            E6
They did it, all with a licence
A          B                  E6
They did it, according to the rules
