[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[F#m]I've been a bad, bad gi[D]rl
[F#m]I've been careless with a delica[D]te man
[F#m]And it's a sad, sad wo[D]rld
[F#m]When a girl will break a boy
[D]just because she can

[Pre-chorus 1]
[A]Don't you tel[G]l me to deny [D]it
I've done [A]wrong
and I want to [G]suffer for [F#m]my sins
[A]I've come to you[G] 'cause I need
[F]guidance to be [E]true
And I just [D]don't know where I can be[F]gin

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, [D]what I need is a [Am]good defense
'Cause I'm [D]feeling like a cri[Am]mi nal
And I [D]need to be redeemed
To the [Am]one I've sinned a[G]gainst
Because he's [F]all I [E]ev er knew of [D]love[D]

[Verse 2]
[F#m]Heaven help me for the way I [D]am
[F#m]Save me from these evil deeds
be[D]fore I get them done
[F#m]I know tomorrow brings
the [D]consequence at hand
But [F#m]I keep living this day
like the [D]next will never come

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh, [A]help me but don't [G]tell me to de[D]ny it
I've got to [A]cleanse myself of [G]all these lies
'til I'm [F#m]good enough for him
[A]I've got a lot[G] to lose
and I'm [F]bettin' high so I'm [E]begging you
Be[D]fore it ends just tell me where to be[F]gin

[Chorus 2]
Hey, [D]what I need is a [Am]good defense
'Cause I'm [D]feeling like a cri[Am]mi nal
And I [D]need to be redeemed
To the [Am]one I've sinned a[G]gainst
Because he's [F]all I [E]ev er knew of [D]love[D]

[Interlude 1]

[Bridge 1]
[C]Let me kno[Ab]w the way
[F]Before there's hel[Ab]l to pay
[C]Give me roo[Ab]m to lay the law[F] and let me go
[C]I've got to mak[Ab]e a play
[F]To make my lov[Ab]er stay
[C]So what would an an [Ab]gel say
the [F]devil wants to [F]know

[Chorus 3]
[D]What I need is a goo[Am]d defense
'Cause I'm [D]feeling like a crimi[Am]nal

Because he's [F]all I [E]ev er knew of [D]love

[Chorus 4]
Yeah, [D]what I need is a [Am]good defense
'Cause I'm [D]feeling like a cri[Am]mi nal
And I [D]need to be redeemed
To the [Am]one I've sinned a[G]gainst
Because he's [F]all I [E]ev er knew [D]of [D]love
