Effect And Cause - The White Stripes | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
A | E 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A            A
 I guess you have to have a problem
       E                       A
If you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a train wreck
                       E
Then you put me in traction
     A
Well first came an action
And then a reaction
        D
But you can't switch around
For your own satisfaction
         A
Well you burnt my house down
         E            A
Then got mad at my reaction

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        A                     E
Well in every complicated situation
                    A
There's a human relation
Making sense of it all
                             E
Take a whole lot of concentration
             A
Well you can blame the baby
For her pregnant ma
       D
And if there's one of these unavoidable laws
              A                         E                   A
It's that you just can't take the effect and make it the cause

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
               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
Don't you blame Paul
      A
Can't take the effect
And make it the cause

[Interlude]
---------------------
A E A            A
     I ain't the reason that you gave me

[Verse 3]
---------------------
   E                       A
No reason to return your call
You built a house of cards
                                      E
And got shocked when you saw them fall
             A
Well I ain't saying I'm innocent
In fact the reverse
            D
But if your heading to the grave you
Don't blame the hearse
              A                          E
You're like a little girl yelling at her brother
                     A
Cause you lost his ball

[Verse 4]
---------------------
         A                          E
You keep blaming me for what you did
                A
And that ain't all
The way you clean up the wreck
                      E
Is enough to give one pause
    A
You seem to forget just how this song 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 (2)]
---------------------
               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
Don't you blame Paul
      A
Can't take the effect
                     A
And make it the cause
