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

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 


 
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

Bought a transistor radio

In a spaceship made from a refrigerator box

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 


 
Dm                     G

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

It's all there is, it's everything
