White Stripes - Effect and cause

^CI guess you have to have a problem if you ^Gwant to invent a cont^Craption ^CFirst You Cause a train wreck, then you put me in t^Graction ^CFirst came an action, then a reaction But you ^Fcan't switch around for your own satisfaction Well you ^Cburnt my house down, then got ^Gmad at my re^Caction

^CWell in every complicated situ^Gation of the human rel^Cation ^CTo make sense of it all, takes a whole lotta concen^Gtration ^CWell you can blame a baby, for her pregnant ma' And if ^Ftheres one of these unavoidable laws It's that you ^Cjust can't take the ef^Gfect and make it the ^Ccause

You can't ^Ftake the effect, and ^Fmake it the cause I did't ^Crob a bank, because you ^Cmade up the law Blame ^Fme for robbing Peter, ^Fdon't you blame Paul You can't ^Ctake the effect and make it the cause

^CI ain't the reason that you gave me no ^Greason to return your ^Ccall ^CYou built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them ^Gfall ^CWell, I ain't saying I'm innocent, in fact the reverse But if you're ^Fheaded to the grave, you don't blame the hearse ^CYou're like a little girl yelling at her ^Gbrother 'cause you lost his ^Cball

^CWell you keep blaming me for what you ^Gdid, and that ain't ^Call ^CThe way you clean up a wreck is enough to give one ^Gpause ^CYou seem to forget just how this all started I'm re^Facting to you because you left me broken hearted ^CSee, you just can't take the e^Gffect and make it the ^Ccause

You can't ^Ftake the effect, and ^Fmake it the cause I didn't ^Crob a bank, becuase you ^Cmade up the law Blame ^Fme for robbing Peter, ^Fdont you blame Paul You can't ^Ctake the effect, and make it the cause
