Chords with lyrics

Intro:
C majorC G+G C majorC D7D7


Verse:
G+G
I broke the law last night
      A augmentedA
Commited a criminal and sexual act
      A minorAm
She was on top in this state
       D7D7   G+G
That's an immediate pop
G+G
And though I didn't get caught
       A augmentedA
I know in my mind I commited no crime
       A minorAm
Still by some fluke
      D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD G+G
I might be serving time, Oh No!!

Chorus A:
C majorC
It's not the crime
G+G
And it's not the thought
C majorC         D7D7
It's not the deed
N.C.          G+G
It's if you get caught


Verse:
G+G
I got some friends
         A augmentedA
Who like to stay high
   A minorAm
Think of, the tax potential
  D MajorD   G+G       D MajorD
If it was legal to buy
G+G
But instead the heat is forced
  A augmentedA
To bust on victimless crimes
A minorAm
It's a low class bust
  D MajorD      G+G   D MajorD  G+G
For nickels and dimes, Oh, Oh...

Chorus A:
C majorC
It's not the crime
G+G
And it's not the thought
C majorC         D7D7
It's not the deed
N.C.          G+G
It's if you get caught


Verse:
G+G
Think of all them powerful cats
  A augmentedA
And how they got that way
      A minorAm
Cause they sure the hell would not be there
  D MajorD    G+G
Without the payoff game that's played
G+G
Think of what you could do
     A augmentedA
If it was you that was in their shoes
A minorAm
You either play the game
    D MajorD  G+G   D MajorD  G+G
Or else you lose, bad news


Chorus B:
C majorC
It's not who's sold
G+G
It's not who's bought
C majorC             D7D7
And it's not the kickbacks
N.C.          G+G
It's if you get caught


Chorus A:
C majorC
It's not the crime
G+G
And it's not the thought
C majorC         D7D7
It's not the deed
N.C.          G+G
It's if you get caught
