Leather Jacket

Intro D Verse 1 D Hundreds of stories G Before I showed up D They'd tell them to me G And pull photos up Em They're all connected D Like a pair of handcuffs G No one seemed affected A That everyone is f**ked D But there was a softness G Some kind of understanding D Those 2am decisions G Always shaky landings Em And no one ever knew D What could be demanded G Maybe it's the cards A The cards that she was handed Chorus G D A You called me up from a pay phone Bm A I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home" G D A I pulled on up and with a southern accent Bm A I offered you my dad's leather jacket Verse 2 D I met her at a party G She'd come straight from work D Complained that the regulars G Were all a bunch of jerks Em She always looked tired D But she dazzled as a drunk G She even pulled off A That stupid hair cut D She said, "I don't need a sponsor G Or the best lover D Just a man that sees me G As some fixer-upper Em The last few years D I've been running for cover G Trying to sleep A So I can visit my mother" Chorus G D A You called me up from a pay phone Bm A I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home" G D A I pulled on up and with a southern accent Bm A I offered you my dad's leather jacket Chorus 2 G D A When times were tough in the worst years Bm A We never knew how to interfere G D A And now you're back and just unpacking Bm A Those bruised up takers you keep attracting Bridge Em In September D/F# When it goes off G Like some god damn A Alarm clock Em And he hits her D/F# Like a third shot G Conversations A She just stares off Em There's no longer D/F# A voice calling G When she goes out A Saying, "I'll be up waiting for you" Chorus G D A You called me up from a pay phone Bm A I said "Hang tight, I can drive you home" G D A I pulled on up and with a southern accent Bm A I offered you my dad's leather jacket Chorus 2 G D A When times were tough in the worst years Bm A We never knew how to interfere G D A And now you're back and just unpacking Bm A Those bruised up takers you keep attracting Outro G D A You call me up from a pay phone Bm - A - G Ooh-ooh-ooh (x4) And I said, "Who the f**k uses a pay phone?"
