Tom: Em
C G C D7
[Verse]
G
I broke the law last night
A
Commited a criminal and sexual act
Am
She was on top in this state
D7 G
That's an immediate pop
G
And though I didn't get caught
A
I know in my mind I commited no crime
Am
Still by some fluke
D G D G
I might be serving time, Oh No!!
[Chorus A]
C
It's not the crime
G
And it's not the thought
C D7
It's not the deed
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
[Verse]
G
I got some friends
A
Who like to stay high
Am
Think of, the tax potential
D G D
If it was legal to buy
G
But instead the heat is forced
A
To bust on victimless crimes
Am
It's a low class bust
D G D G
For nickels and dimes, Oh, Oh...
[Chorus A]
C
It's not the crime
G
And it's not the thought
C D7
It's not the deed
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
[Verse]
G
Think of all them powerful cats
A
And how they got that way
Am
Cause they sure the hell would not be there
D G
Without the payoff game that's played
G
Think of what you could do
A
If it was you that was in their shoes
Am
You either play the game
D G D G
Or else you lose, bad news
[Chorus B]
C
It's not who's sold
G
It's not who's bought
C D7
And it's not the kickbacks
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
[Chorus A]
C
It's not the crime
G
And it's not the thought
C D7
It's not the deed
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
