Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Gm][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I once thought of love as [C]a prison
A place [Cm]I didn't wan[C]t to[G] be
[C]So long ago, I [G]made a decision
To be footloose [Am]and fancy- [Dsus4]free[D]
Brandy [G]Clark:
You came and I was so [C]tempted
To [Cm]gamble on love just one [G]time
[C]I never thought that I[G] would get caught
It [Am]seemed like the perfect [Dsus4]crime[D]

[Verse 2]
[C]Baby, you left me de[G]fenseless
But [C]I've only got one [Dsus4]plea[D]
[C]Lock me away in[G]side of your love
[Am]Throw away [C]the key[Dsus4][D]
I'm [C]guilty of [Dsus4]love in t[D]he first
degree
[G][Gm][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]I thought it would be so sim[C]ple
Like a [Cm]thousand times before

[Verse 4]
[G]I'd tak[C]e what I wanted
and [G]just walk away
[Am]But I never made it to the [Dsus4]door[D]
Now, [G]babe I'm not beggin' for mer[C]cy

[Verse 5]
Go [Cm]ahead and throw the book at [G]me

[Verse 6]
If [C]lovin' you's a crime
[G]I know that I'm as g[Am]uilty as
I [Dsus4]can be[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 7]
[C]Baby, you left me de[G]fenseless
[C]I've only got one [Dsus4]plea[D]

I'm [C]guilty of [Dsus4]love in t[D]he first
de[C]gree
