"Effect and Cause"
If you have heard their cover of Loretta Lynn's "Rated X", it is very similar, strumming wise.
Intro: C G C
C G C
I guess you have to have a problem if you want to invent a contraption
C G
First You Cause a train wreck, then you put me in traction
C
First came an action, then a reaction
F
But you can't switch around for your own satisfaction
C G C
Well you burnt my house down, then got mad at my reaction
C G C
Well in every complicated situation of the human relation
C G
To make sense of it all, takes a whole lotta concentration
C
Well you can blame a baby, for her pregnant ma'
F
And if theres one of these unavoidable laws
C G C
It's that you just can't take the effect and make it the cause
Chorus
F F
You can't take the effect, and make it the cause

C G C
I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call

You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall
C
Well, I ain't saying I'm innocent, in fact the reverse
F
But if you're headed to the grave, you don't blame the hearse

You're like a little girl yelling at her brother 'cause you lost his ball
C G C
Well you keep blaming me for what you did, and that ain't all
