G A7
All the snow has turned to water,
D
Christmas days have come and gone.
G A7
Broken toys and faded colours are all
D
that's left to linger on.

I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,
A7
D
For they always bring me tears.

I can't forgive the way they robbed me
A7 D
of my childhood souvenirs.
Chorus:
A7 D
Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7
They can't be won at carnivals for

Well it took me years to get those

And i don't know how they slipped away
A7
from me.

Make life difficult to see.

That's why last night and this morning

For they always bring me tears.

Well it took me years to get those
souvenirs,

And i don't know how they slipped away

from me.
