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