C 


[Verso 1]
 
  C                                                  G7 
I try so hard, my dear, to show that you're my every dream 
    G7                                              C 
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme 
  C                                               F 
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart 
    G7                                                       C 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart? 
 


[Verso 2]
 
 C                                                  G7 
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue 
    G7                                            C 
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do 
   C                                                    F 
In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start 
    G7                                                       C 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

[Verso 3]
 
       C                                               G7 
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry 
    G7                                                   C 
You know you need and want my love, yet you're afraid to try 
    C                                                    F 
Why do you run and hide from life? To try, it just ain't smart 
    G7                                                       C 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart? 
 


[Verso 4]
 
      C                                               G7 
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me 
    G7                                         C 
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory 
    C                                                F 
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart 
    G7                                                       C 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
