Permanent Record chords by Matt The Electrician

[Verse 1]
  C              Am            F                   G
Took all of the beer bottles from the whole block in my red wagon
  C                Am             F                          G
Cross the highway, in the vacant lot, I got an orange knee-high
    F           C  G
Baseball cards

  C                Am
Maria broke the second-story window
  F                     G
With her head and the back of her hand
 C                Am
Dad wrapped it up in an old bedsheet
 F                       G                       F     C  G  C
And her husband stood around at the end of the block

[Chorus]
Dm                     G
I saved every little thing
  Em                  F
'Cause it's hard to throw it all away
Dm                      G
It's all part of my permanent record
 C                  F              G      C
And I'm gonna go through it all someday


[Verse 2]
   C                  Am
Bought a transistor radio
 F                  G
For a dollar at Brandon's house
C                       Am
I took it apart then I put it back together
 F               G               F            C  G
In a spaceship made from a refrigerator box

C               Am
I made my own French horn
  F                       G
With a funnel and some garden hose
C                     Am
I left it out in the knee-high grass
  F          G                   F     C  G  C
Night fell, and I never saw it again


[Chorus]
Dm                     G
I saved every little thing
  Em                  F
'Cause it's hard to throw it all away
Dm                      G
It's all part of my permanent record
 C                  F              G      C
And I'm gonna go through it all someday


[Bridge]
  G                       F     C
Every little word is a dagger
  G                       F      C
Every single look is a diamond ring
   G                      F     C
Nothing can erase this moment
      Am                     F
It's all there is, it's everything

C  F  G (x4)


[Verse 3]
  C           Am
Rode to my grandpa's funeral
    F            G
Backseat of a Pontiac Pinto
 C                Am
Big boy, with my aunt and my uncle
 F              G             F         C  G
Was the first time I wore a seat belt

C                Am
I loved a girl named Shannon
 F                  G
In my third grade class
C                          Am
I never told her that her hair was golden
  F            G          F       C  G  C
Then I moved away to California


[Chorus]
Dm                     G
I saved every little thing
  Em                  F
'Cause it's hard to throw it all away
Dm                      G
It's all part of my permanent record
 C                  F              G
And I'm gonna go through it all someday


[Outro]
 C                  F              G
And I'm gonna go through it all someday
      C              F              G
Yea, I'm gonna go through it all someday
C     F      G   C
