Love In The First Degree
By Alabama written by Jim Hunt & Tim Dubois
G D7
I once thought of love as a prison
C G
A place I didn't want to be
Am G
So long ago I made a decision
Am D7
To be footloose and fancy free
G D7
But you came and I was so tempted
C G
To gamble on love just one time
Am G
I never thought I would get caught
Am D7
It seemed like the perfect crime
C G
Baby you left me defenseless
C G
I've only got one plea
Am G
Lock me away inside of your love
Am D7
And throw away the key
C D7 G
I'm guilty of love in the first degree
D7
I thought it would be so simple
C G
Like a thousand times before
Am G
I'd take what I wanted and just walk away
Am D7
But I never made it to the door
G D7
Now babe I'm not begging for mercy
C G
Go ahead and throw the book at me
Am G
If loving you is a crime I know that I'm
Am D7
As guilty as a man can be
Repeat #2
C G
