If you have heard their cover of Loretta Lynn's "Rated X", it is very similar, strumming wise.
[Intro]
A E A
[Verse]
A E A I guess you have to have a problem if you want to invent a contraption A E First you cause a train wreck, then you put me in traction A First came an action, then a reaction D But you can't switch around for your own satisfaction A E A Well, you burnt my house down, then got mad at my reaction A E A Well, in every complicated situation of the human relation A E To make sense of it all, takes a whole lotta concentration A Well, you can't blame a 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]
D D You can't take the effect, and make it the cause A A I didn't rob a bank, because you made up the law D D Blame me for robbing Peter, don't you blame Paul A You can't take the effect and make it the cause
[Verse]
A E A I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call A E You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall A Well, I ain't saying I'm innocent, in fact the reverse D But if you're headed to the grave, you don't blame the hearse A E A You're like a little girl yelling at her brother 'cause you lost his ball A E A Well, you keep blaming me for what you did, and that ain't all A E The way you clean up a wreck is enough to give one pause A You seem to forget just how this all 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]
D D You can't take the effect, and make it the cause A A I didn't rob a bank, because you made up the law D D Blame me for robbing Peter, don't you blame Paul A You can't take the effect, and make it the cause
