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.
