Love In The First Degree

  G                                
I once thought of love as a prison,
    C

    C                            G
A place I didn't want to be,
Am                    G
So long ago, I made a decision
         Am                        
To be footloose and fancy-free.
 D

      G                            
But you came and I was so tempted,
   C

     C                             
To gamble on love just one time,
    G

   Am                G
I never thought, I would get caught,
    Am                             
It seemed like the perfect crime.
 D


[Chorus]
C                          G
Baby you left me defenseless,
C                       G
I've only got one plea,
Am                     G
Lock me away, inside of your love,

       Am                  D
And throw away the key.
      C
I'm guilty,
    D                        G
Of love in the first degree.

[2nd Verse]
G                                 C
I thought it would be so simple,
          C                  G
Like a thousand times before,
     Am                         
I'd take what I wanted, and just 
      G
walk away,
        Am                         D
But I never made it to the door.
       G                           
Now babe I'm not begging for mercy,
       C

       C                           
Go ahead and throw the book at me,
           G

   Am                          G
If loving you's a crime, I know that
 I'm
     Am                        D
As guilty as a man can be.

[Chorus]
C                          G
Baby you left me defenseless,
C                       G
I've only got one plea,
Am                     G
Lock me away, inside of your love,
       Am                  D
And throw away the key.
      C
I'm guilty,
    D                        G
Of love in the first degree.


         C                G
