Chords for X - Breathless (David Letterman 1983)

[C] Hi there, [Bb] welcome back to the show folks.
This of course is X and turns out X-scene knows [N] someone that we have in common.
You spent some time with_
Pee-wee Herman.
Oh my. _ _ _
_ I'm gonna go nuts, I know.
Where did this take place?
Actually we're friends from when I lived in Florida.
Many, many years ago?
Yeah, quite a few.
How was he as a child?
Oh, not that long ago.
Oh.
I'm sure he was a great child actually.
Well, I don't know.
There's evidence to the [F] contrary I think.
[B] _ [Bb] Tell me about the name of the band.
It's very simple, X.
But there are some problems people have in the beginning with the name.
Oh, it's been misspelled.
It was S.
Misspelled.
[B] And what was the name?
H or something.
It was [Bb] also H, was it?
K.
K.
Yeah, K.
_ [G] _ The X is a little crooked in the name.
But you can tell it's a name.
Yeah, it seems pretty simple with the_
just [D] pretty much straightforward X.
And Billy [E] and John also, you got together in sort of an interesting fashion like a [Eb] movie, is this correct?
[Bb] Pardon me?
You guys met, you got together as [Bb] a_
No, we had_
I threw ads in the newspaper.
Oh, well that's good enough.
Just play along.
So [B] tell us_
Yeah, we met in a movie.
We were in France and we were sitting in this little cafe.
I'm sorry, [N] I meant it was sort of like a movie kind of way.
Like a movie.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's not unlike a movie.
Right.
Strange movie.
[Abm] And so you had ads in the newspaper?
We had ads in the [Bb] newspaper.
Each of us.
Yeah.
[Gm] Okay.
We found each other, [N] you know.
And the rest is history, as they say.
We're not sure who says that, but it's certainly good enough for us.
You did say that.
I was the first person, yeah, to say that.
Man was the first to [Bb] say it.
Okay, you're gonna sing Breathless now?
_ He's gonna sing Breathless.
You're just going to play.
Okay.
_ [E] Now, how did you guys get the movie job for this song?
They basically called us up and said, well, we hear you do a wonderful version of this song.
And we didn't.
And so we sort of BS'd our way [B] through it and said, oh, sure, of course we do it.
Ran back to the studio, rehearsed it up, you know, recorded it in about a week.
And then the rest is history.
The rest is history.
Did you meet Richard Gere at all?
Well, we met him before.
We put out the record before this.
And he came to a listening party and he had all his clothes on.
Good.
I know you have a picture for that.
A breakthrough for Richard Gere.
No, he was actually real nice.
Okay, terrific.
Well, you folks [Bb] are real nice.
Thank you very much for being here.
Folks, [N] once again, X and Breathless.
Thank you very much.
