Alabama - Love in the first degree

I ^Gonce thought of love as a prison, ^D A pl^Cace I didn't want to be, ^{G Am}So long ago, I made a ^Gdecision To be foo^Amtloose and fancy-free. ^D But yo^Gu came and I was so tempted, ^D To ga^Cmble on love just one time, ^G I n^Amever thought, I wo^Guld get caught, It s^Ameemed like the perfect crime. ^D

^CBaby you left me defenseles^Gs, ^CI've only got one plea, ^{G Am}Lock me away, inside of^G your love, And thr^Amow away the key. ^D I'm gu^Cilty, Of l^Dove in the first degree. ^G

^GI thought it would be so simple, ^D Like a tho^Cusand times before, I'd t^Amake what I wanted, and just walk ^Gaway, But I ne^Amver made it to the door. ^D Now bab^Ge I'm not begging for mercy, ^D Go ahea^Cd and throw the book at me, ^G If ^Amloving you's a crime, I know^G that I'm As gu^Amilty as a man can be. ^D
