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

[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

[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

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

[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
