She Stole My Jacket

V6

[Intro - Acoustic Guitar, Foot Stomps] Hey! [Fiddle Pickup] [Verse 1 - Fast Conversational Male Vocal] I saw her by the doorway with a half-poured pint, Arguing with somebody 'bout the closing time, She looked at me once, said, "You're standing in my way," Then took my empty bar stool and my drink away. I said, "That's mine." She said, "Not anymore." Then somebody started playing by the old pub door. She grabbed my sleeve before I knew her name, And five minutes later I was dancing in the rain. [Pre-Chorus] She said, "Come on, don't stand there, You're wasting Saturday!" [Fiddle Rising] [Chorus - Big Pub Singalong] She stole my jacket, Ran out laughing, Down the street with the whole world flashing. Cold night, streetlights, Shoes soaked through, I spent the whole damn evening chasing after you. She stole my jacket, Kept my lighter, Every little minute only got much wilder. One more drink, One more song, I knew by midnight I was coming along. [Post-Chorus] Hey! Hey! Where'd you go? [Fiddle Hook] Hey! Hey! There she goes! [Verse 2 - Faster Rhythmic Delivery] We hit one bar, then another one after, Lost two friends somewhere between all the laughter. She knew the bartender, knew half the band, Knew every back road better than the back of her hand. She talked too fast and I missed every third word, But somehow every sentence was the best thing I'd heard. Then she climbed on a bench when the fiddle kicked in, Said, "If you're gonna stay, you better learn how to spin." [Pre-Chorus] I said, "I can't dance." She said, "Neither can they!" [Band Shout] HEY! [Chorus] She stole my jacket, Ran out laughing, Down the street with the whole world flashing. Cold night, streetlights, Shoes soaked through, I spent the whole damn evening chasing after you. She stole my jacket, Kept my lighter, Every little minute only got much wilder. One more drink, One more song, I knew by midnight I was coming along. [Instrumental Break - Wild Celtic Fiddle] [Acoustic Guitar Stomps] [Pub Crowd Clapping] [Fiddle Solo] [Bridge - Half-Spoken] Two in the morning, Rain coming sideways, Taxi lights crawling down the one-way. I said, "So where are we going?" She smiled and said, "Who cares?" Then pulled me underneath the awning by the stairs. [Brief Pause] And for once... I didn't have an answer. [Final Chorus - Huge Singalong] She stole my jacket, Ran out laughing, Down the street with the whole world flashing. Cold night, streetlights, Nothing to lose, I'd spend another hundred rainy nights with you. She stole my jacket, Still won't give it back, Says it looks much better hanging off her back. One more drink, One more song, Somehow that Saturday is still rolling on. [Final Chorus - Crowd Vocals] She stole my jacket! HEY! She stole my lighter! HEY! She stole my Saturday night! [Outro - Fiddle and Acoustic Guitar] And if you see her, Tell her something for me... [Fiddle Pause] She can keep the jacket. [Final Pub Cheer] [END]
