Effect and Cause
White Stripes
A E A add4
I guess you have to have a problem, if you want to invent a contraption
A E E7
First you cause a train wreck, then they put me in traction
A A7
Well, first came an action and then a reaction
D D7
but you can't switch around for your own satisfaction
A E A add4
Well, you burnt my house down and then got mad at my reaction
Well, in every complicated situation there's a human relation
Makin' sense of it all takes a whole lot of concentration
Well, you can't blame her baby for her pregnant ma
and if there's one of these on her auto applause
It's just that you can't just take the effect and make it the cause
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, but don't you blame Paul
A
Can't take the effect and make it the cause
A E A add4
I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call
You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall
Well, I ain't saying I'm innocent - in fact the reverse
but if you're heading to the grave, don't blame the hearse
You're like a little girl yelling at her brother coz you lost his ball
Well, you keep blaming me for what you did and that ain't all
The way you clean up the wreck is enough to give one pause
Well, you seem to forget just how this song started
I'm reacting to you, cause you left me broken hearted
It's just that you can't just take the effect and make it the cause
Well, you can't take the effect and make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank because you made up the law
Blame me for robbing Peter, but don't you blame Paul
Can't take the effect and make it the cause...
