A
I tried so hard, my dear, to show
E7
that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
A
is just some evil scheme.
A7 D
A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart.
E7 E7
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and
A
melt your cold,cold heart?
A
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue.
E7
and so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
A
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 hear?
A
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry.
E7
You know you need and want my love, yet you're afraid to try.
A
Why do you run and hide from life? To try it just just ain't smart.
A7 D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
A
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me,
E7
but now I know your heart is shackled to a memory.
A
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?
A7 D
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
