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

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

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

And I don't know how they slipped away from me
