Permanent Record Matt the Electrician
[Verse 1]
To[C]ok all of the b[Am]eer bottles fr[F]om the whole block i[G]n my red wagon
Cr[C]oss the highway, [Am]in the vacant l[F]ot, I got an orange knee-hi[G]gh
Base[F]ball cards[C] [G]
Ma[C]ria broke the sec[Am]ond-story window
Wi[F]th her head and the ba[G]ck of her hand
D[C]ad wrapped it up [Am]in an old bedsheet
A[F]nd her husband stood aro[G]und at the end of the bl[F]ock[C] [G] [C]
[Cborus]
[Dm]I saved every little th[G]ing
'C[Em]ause it's hard to th[F]row it all away
[Dm]It's all part of my perm[G]anent record
A[C]nd I'm gonna go thr[F]ough it all som[G]eday[C]
[Verse 2]
Bou[C]ght a transistor ra[Am]dio
F[F]or a dollar at Bran[G]don's house
[C]I took it apart then I p[Am]ut it back together
I[F]n a spaceship ma[G]de from a refrig[F]erator box[C] [G]
[C]I made my own Fr[Am]ench horn
Wi[F]th a funnel and some gar[G]den hose
[C]I left it out in the k[Am]nee-high grass
Ni[F]ght fell, a[G]nd I never saw it ag[F]ain[C] [G] [C]
[Cborus]
[Dm]I saved every little th[G]ing
'C[Em]ause it's hard to th[F]row it all away
[Dm]It's all part of my perm[G]anent record
A[C]nd I'm gonna go thr[F]ough it all som[G]eday[C]
[Bridge]
Ev[G]ery little word is a dag[F]ger[C]
Ev[G]ery single look is a dia[F]mond ri[C]ng
Not[G]hing can erase this mom[F]ent[C]
It's a[Am]ll there is, it's every[F]thing
C F G (x4)
[Verse 3]
Ro[C]de to my gra[Am]ndpa's funeral
Back[F]seat of a Pon[G]tiac Pinto
B[C]ig boy, with my a[Am]unt and my uncle
W[F]as the first ti[G]me I wore a se[F]at belt[C] [G]
[C]I loved a girl na[Am]med Shannon
I[F]n my third grade cl[G]ass
[C]I never told her that her h[Am]air was golden
Th[F]en I moved aw[G]ay to Calif[F]ornia[C] [G] [C]
[Cborus]
[Dm]I saved every little th[G]ing
'C[Em]ause it's hard to th[F]row it all away
[Dm]It's all part of my perm[G]anent record
A[C]nd I'm gonna go thr[F]ough it all som[G]eday
[Outro]
A[C]nd I'm gonna go thr[F]ough it all som[G]eday
Yea, I[C]'m gonna go thr[F]ough it all som[G]eday
[C] Som[F]eday [G] [C]
