Capo 1st Fret
1st Verse:
I once thought of love as a prison,
C GA place I didn't want to be,
Am GSo long ago, I made a decision
To be footloose and fancy-free.
G DBut you came and I was so tempted,
C GTo gamble on love just one time,
I never thought, I would get caught,
Am DIt seemed like the perfect crime.
Chorus
Baby you left me defenseless,
C GI've only got one plea,
Am GLock me away, inside of your love,
And throw away the key.
CI'm guilty,
D GOf love in the first degree.
2nd Verse:
G DI thought it would be so simple,
CLike a thousand times before,
I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away,
Am DBut I never made it to the door.
G DNow babe I'm not begging for mercy,
Go ahead and throw the book at me,
Am GIf loving you's a crime, I know that I'm
Am DAs guilty as a man can be.
(Repeat Chorus)
C GTag: Love in the first degree.
