Love in the First Degree - Alabama - 30 bpm

I 
D
once thought of love as a 
Dsus4
prison,  a 
Gm
place I didn't want to 
D
be.

 
Cmaj7
So long ago I 
Bm
made a decision to be 
Fm
footloose and fancy 
A
free.

But 
D
you came I was so 
Dsus4
tempted to 
Gm
gamble on love just one 
D
time.

 
Cmaj7
I never thought 
Bm
I would get caught. It 
Fm
seemed like the perfect 
A
crime.

 
G
Baby, you left me de
D
fenseless. 
G
I've only got one 
A
plea.

 
G
Lock me away 
Dmaj7
inside of your love, and 
Fm
throw away the 
A
key.

I'm 
G
guilty of 
A
love in the first deg
D
ree.
D7sus4 - 
Gm - 
D

I 
D
thought it would be so 
Dsus4
simple, like a 
Gm
thousand times be
D
fore.

 
Cmaj7
I'd take what I wanted 
Bm
and just walk away, but I 
Fm
never made it to the 
A
door.

Now 
D
babe, I'm not beggin' for 
Dsus4
mercy. Go a
Gm
head and throw the book at 
D
me.

If 
Cmaj7
lovin' you's a crime, 
Bm
I know that I'm as 
Fm
guilty as a man can 
A
be.

 
G
Baby, you left me de
D
fenseless. 
G
I've only got one 
A
plea.

 
G
Lock me away in
Dmaj7
side of your love, and 
Fm
throw away the 
A
key.

I'm 
G
guilty of 
A
love in the first de
Bm
gree.
G
 

 
G
love in the first deg
D
