Capo 1st Fret
1st Verse:
SOL RE
I once thought of love as a prison,
DO SOL
A place I didn't want to be,
LAm SOL
So long ago, I made a decision
LAm RE
To be footloose and fancy-free.
SOL RE
But you came and I was so tempted,
DO SOL
To gamble on love just one time,
LAm SOL
I never thought, I would get caught,
LAm RE
It seemed like the perfect crime.
Chorus
DO SOL
Baby you left me defenseless,
DO SOL
I've only got one plea,
LAm SOL
Lock me away, inside of your love,
LAm RE
And throw away the key.
DO
I'm guilty,
RE SOL
Of love in the first degree.
2nd Verse:
SOL RE
I thought it would be so simple,
DO
Like a thousand times before,
LAm SOL
I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away,
LAm RE
But I never made it to the door.
SOL RE
Now babe I'm not begging for mercy,
DO SOL
Go ahead and throw the book at me,
LAm SOL
If loving you's a crime, I know that I'm
LAm RE
As guilty as a man can be.
(Repeat Chorus)
DO SOL
Tag: Love in the first degree.
(Alternate between Chorus and Tags and fade out)
