[Intro]
[Verse]
Am F7
I've been a bad bad girl,
Am F7
I've been careless with a delicate man.
Am F7
And it's a sad sad world,
Am
When a girl can break a boy
F7
Just because she can.
[Pre-Chorus]
C Bb F7
Don't you tell me to deny it,
C
I've done wrong and I want to
Bb Am
Suffer for my sins.
C Bb
I've come to you cause I need
Ab7 G7
Guidance to be true
F7 Ab7
And I just don't know where I can begin.
[Chorus]
F7 Cm7
What I need is a good defense
F7 Cm7
cause I'm feelin' like a criminal.
F7
And I need to be redeemed
Cm7 Bb
To the one I sinned against
Ab7 G7 F7
Because he was all I ever knew of love.
[Verse]
Am F7
Heaven help me for the way I am.
Am F7
Save me from these evil deeds.
Am F7
Before I get them done.
Am F7
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand.
Am F7
But I keep livin' this day like
Am F7
The next will never come.
[Pre-Chorus]
C Bb F7
Oh, help me, but don't tell me to deny it.
C
I've got to cleanse myself.
Bb Am
Of all these lies till I'm good enough for him.
C Bb Ab7
I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high
G7
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
F7 Ab7
Just tell me where to begin.
[Chorus]
F7 Cm7
What I need is a good defense
F7 Cm7
cause I'm feelin' like a criminal.
F7
And I need to be redeemed
Cm7 Bb
To the one I sinned against
Ab7 G7 F7
Because he was all I ever knew of love.
[Bridge]
Eb Cb7
Let me know the way
Ab7 Cb7
Before there's hell to pay.
Eb Cb7 Ab7
Give me room to lay the law and let me go.
Eb Cb7
I've got to make a play
Ab7 Cb7
To make my lover stay.
Eb Cb7
So, what would an angel say?
Ab7
cause the devil wants to know.
[Chorus]
F7 Cm7
What I need is a good defense
F7 Cm7
cause I'm feelin' like a criminal.
F7
And I need to be redeemed
Cm7 Bb
To the one I sinned against
Ab7 G7 F7
Because he was all I ever knew of love.
F7 Cm7
What I need is a good defense
F7 Cm7
cause I'm feelin' like a criminal.
F7
And I need to be redeemed
Cm7 Bb
To the one I sinned against
Ab7 G7 F7 Cm7
Because he was all I ever knew of loooooooooooove. Love
