Effect And Cause

Intro: A E A

A                                 
I guess you have to have a problem
        E                    A
 if you want to invent a contraption
A                                 
First You Cause a train wreck, 
                 E
then you put me in traction
A
First came an action, then a 
reaction
        D
But you can't switch around for your
 own satisfaction
         A                         
Well you burnt my house down, then 
    E           A
got mad at my reaction


A                             E  
Well in every complicated 
                   A
situation of the human relation
A                              
To make sense of it all, takes a 
                    E
whole lotta concentration
A
Well you can blame a baby, for her 
pregnant ma'
       D
And if theres one of these 
unavoidable laws
              A                  
It's that you just can't take the 
   E                    A
effect and make it the cause

Chorus
          D                    D
You can't take the effect, and make 
it the cause
        A                       A
I did't rob a bank, because you made
 up the law
      D                     D
Blame me for robbing Peter, don't 
you blame Paul
          A
You can't take the effect and make 
it the cause


A                                 
I ain't the reason that you gave 
     E                     A
me no reason to return your call
A                                 
You built a house of cards and got
                           E
 shocked when you saw them fall
A
Well, I ain't saying I'm innocent, 
in fact the reverse
              D
But if you're headed to the grave, 
you don't blame the hearse
A                                 
You're like a little girl yelling 
       E                           
at her brother 'cause you lost his 
A
ball


A                                 
Well you keep blaming me for what 
    E                   A
you did, and that ain't all
A                             
The way you clean up a wreck is 
                     E
enough to give one pause
A
You seem to forget just how this all
 started
      D
I'm reacting to you because you left
 me broken hearted
A                             E  
See, you just can't take the 
                   A
effect and make it the cause



Chorus
          D                    D
You can't take the effect, and make 
it the cause
         A                      
I didn't rob a bank, becuase you 
 A
made up the law
      D                     D
Blame me for robbing Peter, dont you
 blame Paul
          A
You can't take the effect, and make 
it the cause
