[A] [E]
[A] I guess you have to have a problem [E] if you want to
Then a [A] contraption
First you cause a train wreck
Then they put [E] me in traction
[A] Well, first came an action
And then a reaction
[D] But you can't switch around
For the wrong satisfaction
[A] Well, you burnt my house [E] down
Then got mad at my [A] reaction
Well, in every complicated [E]
situation of [A] human relations
Making sense of it all
Takes a whole lot of [E] concentration
[A] Well, you can't blame a baby for a pregnant mom
[D] Then that there's one of these unavoidable laws
That you just can't take [E] the effect
And make [A] it a cause
No
[D] Well, you can't take the effect
And make it a cause
[A] I didn't rob a bank
Because you made up the law
[D] Blame me for robbing theaters
Don't you blame [A] Paul
Can't take the effect
And make it the cause
[E]
[A] I ain't the reason that you [E] gave me
No reason to [A] return your call
You built a house of cards
And got shocked when you [E] saw them fall
Yeah
[A] Well, I ain't saying I'm innocent
In fact, the reverse
But if you're headed to the [Bb] grave
You don't blame the hearse
You're like a little girl
[E] Yelling at her brother
Cause you [A] lost his ball
Yeah
Well, you keep blaming me for [E] what you did
But [A] that ain't all
The way you clean up a wreck
Is enough to [E] give one Paul
Yeah
Well, you seem to forget
Just how this all [D] started
I'm reacting to you
[Eb] Because you left me [A] brokenhearted
See, you just can't take [E] the effect
And [A] make it a cause
Well, [D] you can't take the effect
And make it a cause
[A] I didn't rob a bank
Because you made up the law
