Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]All the snow has turned to wat[C]er
[D]Christmas days have come and gon[G]e
Broken toys and faded co[C]lours
[D]are all that's left to linger on[G]
I hate graveyards and old [C]pawn shops
[D]For they always bring me tea[G]rs
I can't forgive the way they [C]robbed me
[D]of my childhood souvenir[G]s

[Chorus 1]
[D]Memories, they can't be bou[G]ghten
They [D]can't be won at carnivals for [G]free
[D]Well it took me years to get[G] those souvenirs
And I [C]don't know how they slipped
away from [D]me

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D][G]
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Broken hearts and dirty win[C]dows
[D]Make life difficult to see[G]
That's why last night and this [C]morning
[D]Always look the same to me[G]
I hate reading old love [C]letters
[D]For they always bring me tea[G]rs
I can't forget the way they [C]robbed me
[D]Of my sweetheart's souvenir[G]s

[Chorus 2]
[D]Memories, they can't be bou[G]ghten
They [D]can't be won at carnivals for [G]free
[D]Well it took me years to get[G] those souvenirs
And I [C]don't know how they slipped
away from [D]me

[Outro 1]
[G][C][D][G]
