Verse :
C G
I once thought of love as a prison,
F C
AA chord place I didn't want to be,
Dm C
So long ago, I made a decision
Dm G
To be footloose and fancy-free.
C G
But you came and I was so tempted,
F C
To gamble on love just one time,
Dm C
I never thought, I would get caught,
Dm G
It seemed like the perfect crime.
Chorus :
F C
Baby you left me defenseless,
F C
I've only got one plea,
Dm C
Lock me away, inside of your love,
Dm G
And throw away the key.
F
I'm guilty,
G C
Of love in the first degree.
Verse :
C G
I thought it would be so simple,
F
Like a thousand times before,
Dm C
I'd take what I wanted, and just walk away,
Dm G
But I never made it to the door.
C G
Now babe I'm not begging for mercy,
F C
Go ahead and throw the book at me,
Dm C
If loving you's a crime, I know that I'm
Dm G
As guilty as a man can be.
Chorus :
F C
Baby you left me defenseless,
F C
I've only got one plea,
Dm C
Lock me away, inside of your love,
Dm G
And throw away the key.
F
I'm guilty,
G C
Of love in the first degree.
F C
Outro : Love in the first degree.
