Criminal

[verse]
G#m7                 E7
I’ve been a bad, bad girl
G#m7                      E7
I've been careless with a delicate man
G#m7                E7
And it’s a sad, sad world
G#m7                    
When a girl can break a boy
E7
Just because she can

[bridge]
B        A              E7
Don’t you tell me to deny it
           B   
I’ve done wrong and I want to
A            G#m7
Suffer for my sins
B             A
I’ve come to you 'cause I need
G7                F#7
Guidance to be true
           E7                        G7
And I just don’t know where I can begin

[chorus]
E7               Bm
What I need is a good defense
          E7                 Bm
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
      E7   
And I need to be redeemed
       Bm                   A
To the one I've sinned against
            G7     F#7          E7
Because he's all I ever knew of love

[verse]
Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings
The consequence at hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come

[bridge]
Oh, help me, but don’t tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies
'Til I’m good enough for him
I've got a lot to lose
And I'm bettin' high, so I'm beggin' you
Before it ends just tell me where to begin

[chorus]

[bridge]
D            A#  
    Let me know the way
G                   A#
    Before there’s hell to pay
G              A#             G7
    Give me room to lay the law and let me go
D                A#
    I’ve got to make a play
G             A#
    To make my lover stay
D                     A#
    So, what would an angel say?
          G7
    The devil wants to know
