Leather Jacket chords by Arkells

Chords with lyrics

Intro

D MajorD

[Verse 1]
D/F#D/F#
Hundreds of stories
G+G
Before I showed up
D/F#D/F#
They'd tell them to me
G+G
And pull photos up
E minorEm
They're all connected
D/F#D/F#
Like a pair of handcuffs
G+G
No one seemed affected
A augmentedA
That everyone is fucked
D/F#D/F#
But there was a softness
G+G
Some kind of understanding
D/F#D/F#
Those 2am decisions
G+G
Always shaky landings
E MajorE
And no one ever knew
D/F#D/F#
What could be demanded
G+G
Maybe it's the cards
A augmentedA
The cards that she was handed

[Chorus]
G+G       D MajorD          A augmentedA
You called me up from a pay phone
       B minorBm
I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home"
G+G      D MajorD           A augmentedA
I pulled on up and with a southern accent
     B minorBm
I offered you my dad's leather jacket

[Verse 2]
D/F#D/F#
I met her at a party
G+G
She'd come straight from work
D/F#D/F#
Complained that the regulars
G+G
Were all a bunch of jerks
E minorEm
She always looked tired
D/F#D/F#
But she dazzled as a drunk
G+G
She even pulled off
A augmentedA
That stupid hair cut
D/F#D/F#
She said, "I don't need a sponsor
G+G
Or the best lover
D/F#D/F#
Just a man that sees me
G+G
As some fixer-upper
E minorEm
The last few years
D/F#D/F#
I've been running for cover
G+G
Trying to sleep
A augmentedA
So I can visit my mother"

[Chorus]
G+G       D MajorD          A augmentedA
You called me up from a pay phone
       B minorBm
I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home"
G+G      D MajorD           A augmentedA
I pulled on up and with a southern accent
     B minorBm
I offered you my dad's leather jacket

[Bridge]
E minorEm       D/F#D/F#        G+G
When times were tough in the worst years
     B minorBm
We never knew how to interfere
E minorEm       D/F#D/F#       G+G
And now you're back and just unpacking
         B minorBm
Those bruised up takers you keep attracting

[Verse 3]
D/F#D/F#
In September
G+G
When it goes off
D/F#D/F#
Like some god damn
G+G
Alarm clock
D/F#D/F#
And he hits her
G+G
Like a third shot
D/F#D/F#
Conversations
G+G
She just stares off
E minorEm
There's no longer
D/F#D/F#
A augmentedA voice calling
G+G
When she goes out
A augmentedA
Saying, "I'll be up waiting for you"

G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA    B minorBm
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh-Ooh-Ooh

[Chorus]
G+G       D MajorD          A augmentedA
You called me up from a pay phone
       B minorBm
I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home"
G+G      D MajorD           A augmentedA
I pulled on up and with a southern accent
     B minorBm
I offered you my dad's leather jacket

[Bridge]
E minorEm       D/F#D/F#         G+G
When times were tough in the worst years
     B minorBm
We never knew how to interfere
E minorEm       D/F#D/F#       G+G
And now you're back and just unpacking
         B minorBm
Those bruised up takers you keep attracting

[Outro]
G+G      D MajorD          A augmentedA
You call me up from a pay phone
      B minorBm
You call me up from a pay phone
