Intro: D   G   A7   D (2x)



                           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.
