Verse 1
[A7]
I tried so hard my dear to show
[E7]
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
[A7]
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
[D7]
Keeps us so far apart
Chorus
[E7]
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
[A7]
And melt your cold,cold heart?
Verse 2
[A7]
Another love before my time
[E7]
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
[A7]
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
[D7]
That make the teardrops start
Chorus
[E7]
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
[A7]
And melt your cold,cold heart?
Verse 3
[A7]
You'll never know how much it hurts
[E7]
To see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love
[A7]
Yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life?
[D7]
To try it just ain't smart
Chorus
[E7]
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
[A7]
And melt your cold,cold heart?
Verse 4
[A7]
There was a time when I believed
[E7]
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled
[A7]
To a memory
The more I learn to care for you,
[D7]
The more we drift apart
Chorus
[E7]
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
[A7]
And melt your cold,cold heart?
