Intro:
D G A7 D
D G A7 D
G A7
All the snow has turned to water,
D
Christmas days have come and gone.
G A7 D
Broken toys and faded colours are all that's left to linger on.
G A7
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,
D
For they always bring me tears.
G A7 D
I can't forgive the way they robbed me of my childhood souvenirs.
Chorus:
A7 D
Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7 D
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
A7 D
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs,
G A7
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.
D G A7
Broken hearts and dirty windows
D
Make life difficult to see.
G A7
That's why last night and this morning
D
Always look the same to me.
G A7
And I hate reading old love letters
D
For they always bring me tears.
G A7
I can't forget the way they robbed me,
D
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs.
A7 D
Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7 D
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
A7 D
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs,
G A7
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.

All the snow has turned to water
Christmas days have come and gone
Broken toys and faded colours
Are all that's left to linger on
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they robbed me
Of my childhood souvenirs
Memories, they can't be boughten
They can't be won at carnivals for free
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me
Broken hearts and dirty windows
Make life difficult to see
That's why last night and this morning
Always look the same to me
And I hate reading old love letters
For they always bring me tears
I can't forget the way they robbed me
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs
Memories they can't be boughten
They can't be won at carnivals for free
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me

Broken toys and faded colors
D7 G
Are all that's left to linger on
N.C. C
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
D7 G
For they always bring me tears
C
I can't forgive the way they rob me
D7 G
Of my childhood souvenirs
[Chorus]
D7 G
Memories they can't be boughten
D7 G
They can't be won at carnivals for free
D7
Well it took me years
G
To get those souvenirs
C D7
And I don't know how they slipped away from me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
N.C. C
Broken hearts and dirty windows
D7 G
Make life difficult to see
C
That's why last night and this mornin'
D7 G
Always look the same to me
N.C. C
I hate reading old love letters
D7 G
For they always bring me tears
C
I can't forgive the way they rob me
D7 G
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs
[Chorus]
D7 G
Memories they can't be boughten
D7 G
They can't be won at carnivals for free
D7
Well it took me years
G
To get those souvenirs
C D7
And I don't know how they slipped away from me
