"Effect and Cause"

From the album "Icky Thump"


If you have heard their cover of Loretta Lynn's "Rated X", it is very similar, strumming wise.


Intro: A E A

A E A
I guess you have to have a problem if you want to invent a contraption
A E
First You Cause a train wreck, 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 E A
Well you burnt my house down, then got mad at my reaction


A E A
Well in every complicated situation of the human relation
A E
To make sense of it all, takes a whole lotta concentration
A
Well you can blame a baby, for her pregnant ma'
D
And if theres one of these unavoidable laws
A E A
It's that you just can't take the 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 E A
I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call
A E
You built a house of cards and got 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 E A
You're like a little girl yelling at her brother 'cause you lost his ball


A E A
Well you keep blaming me for what you did, and that ain't all
A E
The way you clean up a wreck is 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 A
See, you just can't take the effect and make it the cause



Chorus
D D
You can't take the effect, and make it the cause
A A
I didn't rob a bank, becuase you 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

"A"
