| A | E |
[Verse 1]
A A
I guess you have to have a problem
E A
If you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a train wreck
E
Then you put me in traction
A
Well first came an action
And then a reaction
D
But you can't switch around
For your own satisfaction
A
Well you burnt my house down
E A
Then got mad at my reaction
[Verse 2]
A E
Well in every complicated situation
A
There's a human relation
Making sense of it all
E
Take a whole lot of concentration
A
Well you can blame the baby
For her pregnant ma
D
And if there's one of these unavoidable laws
A E
It's that you just can't take the effect and make it the
A
cause
[Chorus]
D
Well you can't take the effect
And make it the cause
A
I didn't rob a bank because you made up the law
D
Blame me for robbing peter
Don't you blame Paul
A
Can't take the effect
And make it the cause
[Interlude]
A E A A
I ain't the reason that you gave me
[Verse 3]
E A
No reason to return your call
You built a house of cards
E
And got shocked when you saw them fall
A
Well I ain't saying I'm innocent
In fact the reverse
D
But if your heading to the grave you
Don't blame the hearse
A E
You're like a little girl yelling at her brother
A
Cause you lost his ball
[Verse 4]
A E
You keep blaming me for what you did
A
And that ain't all
The way you clean up the wreck
E
Is enough to give one pause
A
You seem to forget just how this song started
D
I'm reacting to you because you left me broken hearted
A E A
See you just can't take the effect and make it the cause
[Chorus]
D
Well you can't take the effect
And make it the cause
A
I didn't rob a bank because you made up the law
D
Blame me for robbing peter
Don't you blame Paul
A
Can't take the effect
A
And make it the cause
