Love In The First Degree Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]once thought of love as a [C]prison
A [Cm]place I didn't want to [G]be
[F]So long ago I [Em]made a decision
To be [D]footloose and fancy free
But [G]you came and I was so [C]tempted
To [Cm]gamble on love just one [G]time
[F]I never thought that I[Em] would get caught
It [Am]seemed like a perfect [D]crime

[Chorus 1]
[C]Baby, you left me de[G]fenseless
[C]I've only got one [D]plea
[C]Lock me away in[Bm]side of your love
And [Am]throw away the [D]key
I'm [C]guilty of [D]love in the first de[G]gree

[Verse 2]
[G]I thought it would be so s[C]imple
Like a [Cm]thousand times be[G]fore
[F]I take what I wanted and j[Em]ust walk away
But I [D]never made it to the door
Now [G]babe I'm not begging for [C]mercy
Go a[Cm]head and throw the book at [G]me
If [F]loving you's a crime
[Em]I know that I'm as gui[Am]lty
as a man can [D]be

[Chorus 2]
[C]Baby, you left me de[G]fenseless
[C]I've only got one [D]plea
[C]Lock me away in[Bm]side of your love
And [Am]throw away the [D]key
I'm [C]guilty of [D]love in the first degree

[Bridge 1]
[C](Love in the fir[G]st degree)
[C][D]

[Chorus 3]
[C]Baby, you left me de[G]fenseless
[C]I've only got one [D]plea
[C]Lock me away in[Bm]side of your love
And [Am]throw away the [D]key
I'm [C]guilty of [D]love in the first degree

[Outro 1]
[C]Love in the fir[G]st degree
[C]Love in the fir[G]st degree
[C]Love in the fir[G]st deg[F]ree
[C]Love in the fir[G]st deg[F]ree
[Fade out]
