                           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.
[Verse 2]
  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.
[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.
[Outro] D G A7 D
