A                                                     E7
I tried so hard my dear to show, that you're my every dream
                                                      A
Yet you're afraid each thing I do, is just some evil scheme
                                           A7      D
A memory from your lonesome past, keeps us so far apart
    E7                                                        A
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold, cold heart?
 
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
                                     A7                 D
In anger unkind words are said, that make the teardrops start
    E7                                                         A
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold, cold heart?
 
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
Why do you run and hide from life? to try it just ain't smart
    E7                                                        A
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold, cold heart?
 
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
    E7                                                        A
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold, cold heart?
