Love In The First Degree Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I once thought of love as a pri[C]son
A [Cm]place I didn't want to [G]be
But [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 [G]one time
[F]I never thought
[Em]I would get caught
It [Am]seemed like a perfect [D]crime

[Chorus 1]
[C]Baby, you left me de[G]fenseless
But [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[D]
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
Oh 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 [Am]guilty 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[D]
I'm [C]guilty of [D]love in the first degree

[Bridge 1]
[C](Love in the fir[G]st degree)
Oh [C]yeah, oh [D]yeah[D]

[Chorus 3]
[C]Baby, you left me de[G]fenseless[D]
But [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[D]
I'm [C]guilty of [D]love in the first degree

[Outro 1]
[C]Love in the fir[G]st degree oh [F]yea[C]h
Love in the [G]first [F]degree
[C]Love in the fir[G]st degree oh [F]yea[C]h
Love in the [G]first [F]degree
[C][G][F]
[C]Love in the fir[G]st deg[F]ree
[C][G][F]
[C][G]
[Fade Out]
