Chords with lyrics
[Verse 1]
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
Took all of the beer bottles from the whole block in my red wagon
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
Cross the highway, in the vacant lot, I got an orange knee-high
FF C majorC G+G
Baseball cards
C majorC A minorAm
Maria broke the second-story window
FF G+G
With her head and the back of her hand
C majorC A minorAm
Dad wrapped it up in an old bedsheet
FF G+G FF C majorC G+G C majorC
And her husband stood around at the end of the block
[Chorus]
DmDm G+G
I saved every little thing
E minorEm FF
'Cause it's hard to throw it all away
DmDm G+G
It's all part of my permanent record
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
And I'm gonna go through it all someday
[Verse 2]
C majorC A minorAm
Bought a transistor radio
FF G+G
For a dollar at Brandon's house
C majorC A minorAm
I took it apart then I put it back together
FF G+G FF C majorC G+G
In a spaceship made from a refrigerator box
C majorC A minorAm
I made my own French horn
FF G+G
With a funnel and some garden hose
C majorC A minorAm
I left it out in the knee-high grass
FF G+G FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Night fell, and I never saw it again
[Chorus]
DmDm G+G
I saved every little thing
E minorEm FF
'Cause it's hard to throw it all away
DmDm G+G
It's all part of my permanent record
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
And I'm gonna go through it all someday
[Bridge]
G+G FF C majorC
Every little word is a dagger
G+G FF C majorC
Every single look is a diamond ring

Nothing can erase this moment

It's all there is, it's everything

[Verse 3]
C majorC A minorAm
Rode to my grandpa's funeral
FF G+G
Backseat of a Pontiac Pinto
C majorC A minorAm
Big boy, with my aunt and my uncle
FF G+G FF C majorC G+G
Was the first time I wore a seat belt
C majorC A minorAm
I loved a girl named Shannon
FF G+G
In my third grade class
C majorC A minorAm
I never told her that her hair was golden
FF G+G FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Then I moved away to California
[Chorus]

I saved every little thing

And I'm gonna go through it all someday

Yea, I'm gonna go through it all someday
