[VERSE 1]
[N.C.]All the snow has turned to [C]water
[D7] Christmas days have come and [G]gone
Broken toys and faded [C]colors
[D7] Are all that's left to linger [G]on
[N.C.]I hate graveyards and old [C]pawn shops
[D7] For they always bring me [G]tears
I can't forgive the way they [C]rob me
[D7] Of my childhood souve[G]nirs

[CHORUS]
[D7] Memories they can't be [G]boughten
They [D7]can't be won at carnivals for [G]free
[D7] Well it took me years
To [G]get those souvenirs
And I [C]don't know how they slipped away from [D7]me

[VERSE 2]
[N.C.]Broken hearts and dirty [C]windows
[D7] Make life difficult to [G]see
That's why last night and this [C]mornin'
[D7] Always look the same to [G]me
[N.C.]I hate reading old love [C]letters
[D7] For they always bring me [G]tears
I can't forgive the way they [C]rob me
[D7] Of my sweetheart's souve[G]nirs

[CHORUS]
[D7] Memories they can't be [G]boughten
They [D7]can't be won at carnivals for [G]free
[D7] Well it took me years
To [G]get those souvenirs
And I [C]don't know how they slipped away from [D7]me
