I wore a black leather jacket way back in high school
CG
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
CD
And I loved you girl, yeah, I loved you girl
[Chorus]
GC
And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you
GC
Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you
EmDC
Were countin down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
EmCC
Three polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
[Break]

[Verse 2]
CG
A little tattered and torn, it still keeps me warm on a Friday night
CG
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
CD
And I loved you girl, yeah, I still love you girl
[Chorus]
GC
And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you
GC
Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you
EmDC
Were countin down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
CG
Three polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket

[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]
GC
And every night I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you
GC
Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you
EmDC
Were makin' them memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static
CDG
Three words, two rings, and one real cool, black, leather jacket
[Break]

[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
CG
I just love that black, leather jacket
