"so are you" ??

Hi

Can I say that "I'm a believer in preparation and so are you." or should it rather be "I'm a believer in preparation and so you are."?

Thank you.

And so are you.
And neither am I.
And you are too.
And I'm not either
.

So (and other) tag clauses often invert subject and object when they show addition.
