G (8ct)(strummed up)

I once thought love as a prison

a place I didn't want to be
F2      Em
So long ago I made a decision

to be footloose and fancy free

[2nd verse}
  G           Cadd9
But you came and I was so tempted
  G2           G
to gamble on love just one time
F2       Em
I never thought I would get caught

It seemed like the perfect crime

Baby you left me defenseless

G            Cadd9
I thought it would be so simple

I'd take what I wanted Just walk away

But I never made it to the door

Now Babe I'm not begging for mercy
