{artist: The White Stripes}
Intro: [C] [G] [C]
[C] I guess you have to have a problem if you [G]want to invent a contra-[C]ption
[C] First You Cause a train wreck, then you put me in tr-[G]action
[C] First came an action, then a reaction
But you [F] can't switch around for your own satisfaction
Well you [C]burnt my house down, then got [G]mad at my re-[C]action
[C]Well in every complicated situa-[G]tion of the human re-[C]lation
[C]To make sense of it all, takes a whole lotta concen-[G]tration
[C]Well you can blame a baby, for her pregnant ma'
And if [F]theres one of these unavoidable laws
It's that you [C]just can't take the [G]effect and make it the [C]cause
You can't [F]take the effect, and make it the cause
I didn't [C]rob a bank, because you made up the law
Blame [F]me for robbing Peter, don't you blame Paul
You can't [C]take the effect and make it the cause
[C]I ain't the reason that you gave me no [G]reason to return your [C]call
[C]You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them [G]fall
[C]Well, I ain't saying I'm innocent, in fact the reverse
But if you're [F]headed to the grave, you don't blame the hearse
[C]You're like a little girl yelling at her [G]brother 'cause you lost his [C]ball
[C]Well you keep blaming me for what you [G]did, and that ain't [C]all
[C]The way you clean up a wreck is enough to give one [G]pause
[C]You seem to forget just how this all started
I'm re-[F]acting to you because you left me broken hearted
[C]See, you just can't take the [G]effect and make it the [C]cause
You can't [F]take the effect, and make it the cause
I didn't [C]rob a bank, because you made up the law
Blame [F]me for robbing Peter, don't you blame Paul
You can't [C]take the effect and make it the cause
