[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.

                                     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.
