I wore a black leather jacket way back in high school
C G
And man, lookin back at these pictures of us, we were so cool
Em
You were so hot in your pink lipstick
D
Painted on the end of a lit cigarette
C D
And I loved you girl, yeah, I loved you girl
[Chorus]
G C
And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you
G C
Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you
Em D C
Were countin down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
Em C C
Three polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
[Break]
C G
[Verse 2]
C G
A little tattered and torn, it still keeps me warm on a Friday night
C G
Bandana patch from kickin some ass in a frat boy fight
Em
You wore it in the stands at the football games
D
Some ink beneath the sleeve, I still wear your name
C D
And I loved you girl, yeah, I still love you girl
[Chorus]
G C
And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you
G C
Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you
Em D C
Were countin down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
C G
Three polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
[Break]
C G C G
[Bridge]
Em
I know you grew up, I grew up, too
D
You got two kids, hell, I got two kids, too
C
Thank God they look like you
[Chorus]
G C
And every night I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you
G C
Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you
Em D C
Were makin' them memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
C D G
Three words, two rings, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
[Break]
C G C G C G
[Outro]
C
Well, there's nothing in the world makes me feel more alive
G
When its just you and me and the moon is high
C
I slip into the sleeves and with your hand in mine
G
I go back to the night when I fell into your eyes
C
Two kids just fallin in love
G
And here we are right now, good heavens above
C
Its only gettin better, baby
G
Its only getting better, baby
C G
I just love that black, leather jacket
