[Verse]
                           C    
All the snow has turned to water
D7                              G   
■  Christmas days have come and gone
                      C       D7                               G 
Broken toys and faded colours ■  are all that's left to linger on
                          C         
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
D D7                          G    
■ ■  For they always bring me tears
                             C         D7                 G        
I can't forgive the way they robbed me ■  of my childhood souvenirs


[Chorus]
D                        G       
■ Memories they can't be boughten
D                                  G   
They can't be won at carnivals for free
D                        G                  
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
      C                           G         D7
And I don't know how they slipped away from me

[Verse]
                        C      
Broken hearts and dirty windows
D7                        G  
■  Make life difficult to see
                               C      
That's why last night and this morning
D D7                         G 
■ ■  Always look the same to me
                            C      
And I hate reading old love letters
D7                          G    
■  For they always bring me tears
                            C        
I can't forget the way they robbed me
D7                    G        
■  Of my sweetheart's souvenirs


[Chorus]
D                     G          
■ Memories they can't be boughten
D                                  G   
They can't be won at carnivals for free
D                        G                  
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
      C                           G           
And I don't know how they slipped away from me
