"Effect and Cause"
If you have heard their cover of Loretta Lynn's "Rated X", it is very similar, strumming wise.
Intro: A E A
[A]I guess you have to have a problem if you [E]want to invent a cont[A]raption
[A]First You Cause a train wreck, then you put me in t[E]raction
[A]First came an action, then a reaction
But you [D]can't switch around for your own satisfaction
Well you [A]burnt my house down, then got [E]mad at my re[A]action
[A]Well in every complicated situ[E]ation of the human rel[A]ation
[A]To make sense of it all, takes a whole lotta concen[E]tration
[A]Well you can blame a baby, for her pregnant ma'
And if [D]theres one of these unavoidable laws
It's that you [A]just can't take the ef[E]fect and make it the [A]cause
Chorus
You can't [D]take the effect, and [D]make it the cause
I did't [A]rob a bank, because you [A]made up the law
Blame [D]me for robbing Peter, [D]don't you blame Paul
You can't [A]take the effect and make it the cause
[A]I ain't the reason that you gave me no [E]reason to return your [A]call
[A]You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them [E]fall
[A]Well, I ain't saying I'm innocent, in fact the reverse
But if you're [D]headed to the grave, you don't blame the hearse
[A]You're like a little girl yelling at her [E]brother 'cause you lost his [A]ball
[A]Well you keep blaming me for what you [E]did, and that ain't [A]all
[A]The way you clean up a wreck is enough to give one [E]pause
[A]You seem to forget just how this all started
I'm re[D]acting to you because you left me broken hearted
[A]See, you just can't take the e[E]ffect and make it the [A]cause
Chorus
You can't [D]take the effect, and [D]make it the cause
I didn't [A]rob a bank, becuase you [A]made up the law
Blame [D]me for robbing Peter, [D]dont you blame Paul
You can't [A]take the effect, and make it the cause
