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


VERSE 2:
A                              E                   A
Well, in every complicated situation of a human relation
                                                  E
Makin' sense of it all takes a whole lot of concentration, mmm
                A
Well, you can't blame a baby for her pregnant ma
       D
And if there's one of these unavoidable laws
              A N.C.                E N.C.               A
It's that you just can't take the effect and make it the cause

No,


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 robbin' Peter but don't ya blame Paul
      A N.C.
Can't take the effect and make it the cause


G A  E  A  /c A


VERSE 3:
A                                      E                     A
I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call
                                                             E
You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall, heh
                    A N.C.                  A N.C.
Yeah, well, I ain't sayin' I'm innocent, in fact, the reverse
              D N.C.
But if you're headed to the grave, you don't blame the hearse
              A                          E                           A
You're like a little girl yellin' at her brother 'cause you lost his ball

Yeah,


VERSE 4:
A                                      E                   A
Well, you keep blamin' me for what you did, but that ain't all
                                                   E
The way you clean up a wreck is enough to give one pause, yeah!
          A N.C.              A N.C.
Well, you seem to forget just how this all started
    D N.C.
I'm reactin' 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
