All the snow has turned to [/] [C] water  [/] [C] [/]  
[/] [D7] .. Christmas [/] days have come and [/] [G] gone. [/] [G] [/]  
[/] [G] .. Broken [/] toys and faded [/] [C] colours [/] [C] [/]  
[/] [D7] .. are all that's [/] left to linger [/] [G] on. [/] [G] [/] [G!]   


I hate graveyards and old [/] [C] pawn shops [/] [C] [/]  
[/] [D7] .. For they [/] always bring me [/] [G] tears. [/] [G] [/]  
[/] [G] .. I can't for-  [/] give the way they [/] [C] robbed me [/] [C] [/]  
[/] [D7] .. of my [/] childhood souve-  [/] [G] nirs. [/] [G] [/] [G!]   


{soc}
[/] [D7] .. Memo-  [/] ries, they can't be [/] [G] boughten. [/] [G]  
They [/] [D7] can't be won at [/] carnivals for [/] [G] free. [/] [G] [/]  
[/] [D7] . Well it took me [/] years... to [/] [G] get those souve- [/] [G] nirs
And I [/] [C] don't know how they [/] slipped away from [/] [D7] me. [/] [D7] [/]

Broken hearts and dirty [/] [C] windows [/] [C] [/]  
[/] [D7] .. Make life [/] difficult to [/] [G] see. [/] [G] [/]  
[/] [G] .. That's why [/] last night and this [/] [C] morning [/] [C] [/]  
[/] [D7] .. Always [/] look the same to [/] [G] me. [/] [G] [/] [G!]   


I hate reading old love [/] [C] letters [/] [C] [/]
