X Offender Chords & Lyrics - Blondie

[spoken]

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled,
I laid my heart on the line

Intro/Hook:
[E] , [A] , [B] x2

[E]You read me my rights and then [A]you said "[B]Let's go" a[E]nd nothing more
I thought of my nights, and [A]how they were
[B]They were filled with --

[A]I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my [B]heart burst then you'd step in
[G#]I had to know so I a[A]sked
You just had to [E]laugh

[intro/hook x 2]

[E]We sat in the night with my hands [A]cuffed at [B]my ... [E]side
I look at your life and your [A]style
I [B]wanted nothing [A]more

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my [B]heart burst then you'd step in [G#]
I had to know so I [A]asked
You just had to [E]laugh

[intro/hook]

[C#m]Walking the line, you were a marksman
[A]Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
[F#]Public d[B]efender
[C#m]You had to admit
You [A]wanted the love of a [F#]sex [B]offender

(guitar solo: [E] , [G#m] , [A] , [B])

[A]I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my [B]heart burst then you'd step in [G#]
I had to know so I [A]asked
You just had to [E]laugh

[E]My vision in blue, I [A]call you f[B]rom inside my c[E]ell
And in the trial, you were [A]there
With your [B]badge and rubber [E]boots
I think all the time how I'm goin[A]g to p[B]erpetrate love with [E]you
And when I get out, there's no [A]doubt I'll be [B]sex offensive to [E]you
