Capo 1st Fret
[1st Verse]
G C
I once thought of love as a prison,
C G
A place I didn't want to be,
Am G
So long ago, I made a decision
Am D
To be footloose and fancy-free.
G C
But you came and I was so tempted,
C G
To gamble on love just one time,
Am G
I never thought, I would get caught,
Am D
It seemed like the perfect crime.
[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 G
I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away,
Am D
But I never made it to the door.
G C
Now babe I'm not begging for mercy,
C G
Go ahead and throw the book at me,
Am G
If loving you's a crime, I know that I'm
Am D
As guilty as a man can be.
[Ulangi Chorus]
C G
