[B] [C#]
[F#]
All the snow has [B] turned to water Christmas [C#]
days have [F#] come and gone
Broken toys [B] and faded colors Are [C#]
all that's left to [F#] linger on
I hate graveyards [B] and old pawn shops [C#]
For they always [F#] bring me tears
I can't forgive the way [B] they robbed me [C#]
Of my childhood [F#] souvenirs
[C#] Memories they [F#] can't be bought They [C#] can't be won at [F#] carnivals for free
Well [C#] it took me years [F#] to get those souvenirs [B] And I don't know how they slipped away [C#] from me

[C#] [F#]
Broken hearts [B] and dirty windows [C#] Make life difficult [F#] to see
That's why last [B] night and this morning [C#]
Always look the [F#] same to me
I hate [B] reading old love letters [C#]
For they always bring [F#] me tears
I can't forgive [B] the way they robbed me [C#]
Of my sweetheart [F#] souvenirs
