Love In The First Degree chords by Alabama

Intro:
G (8ct)(strummed up)

1st Verse:
  G                      Cadd9
I once thought love as a prison
  G2                     G
a place I didn't want to be
F2           Em
So long ago I made a decision
      Dsus4               D
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
   Am7                     Dsus4   D
It seemed like the perfect crime

1st Chorus:
C                  G
Baby you left me defenseless
C                 Dsus4  D
I've only got one plea
C              Bm
Lock me away inside of your love
Am7            Dsus4 D
Throw away the key
    C         D                   G
I'm guilty of love in the first degree

3rd verse:
G                        Cadd9
I thought it would be so simple
       G2             G
Like a thousand times before
F2                     Em
I'd take what I wanted Just walk away
      Dsus4                D
But I never made it to the door
    G                        Cadd9
Now Babe I'm not begging for mercy
   G2                          G
Go ahead and throw the book at me
   F2                    Em
If lovin' you's a crime, I know that I'm

as guilty as a man can be
