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