[G] [C] [D7] [G]  x2
[G] {1} All the snow has turned to [C] water {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] {1} Christmas days have come and [G] gone {234}
[G] {1} Broken toys and faded [C] colours {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] Are all that's left to linger [G] on {234} [G]*

[nc] I hate graveyards and old [C] pawn shops {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] {1} For they always bring me [G] tears {234}
[G] {1} I can't forgive the way they [C] rob me {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] {1} of my childhood souve-[G]nirs {234} [G] {123} 

[D] {1} Memories, they can't be [G] boughten {234}
They [D] can't be won at carnivals for [G] free {234}
[D] {1} Well it took me years to [G] get those souvenirs {4}
And I [C] don't know how they slipped away from [D] me {23}

[G] All the snow has turned to [C] water
[D] Christmas days have come and [G] gone
Broken toys and faded [C] colours
[D] Are all that's left to linger [G] on
{eos}
[G] {1} Broken hearts and dirty [C] windows {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] {1} make life difficult to [G] see {234}
[G] {1} That's why last night and this [C] morning {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] {1} always look the same to [G] me {234} [G]*

[nc] I hate reading old love [C] letters {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] {1} for they always bring me [G] tears {234}
[G] I can't forgive the way they [C] rob me {23} [Cmaj7]
[D] {1} of my sweetheart's souve-[G]nirs {234} [G] {123} 

[D] {1} Memories, they can't be [G] boughten {234}
They [D] can't be won at carnivals for [G] free {234}
[D] {1} Well it took me years to [G] get those souvenirs {4}

And I [C] don't know how they slipped away from [D] me {23}
