A 
D 
I  tried so hard, my dear,
Fdim 
A 
to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
is just some evil scheme
D 
A memory from your lonesome past
G 
Keeps us so far apart
A 
Em 
A 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Em 
A 
D 
And melt your cold, cold heart?
Another love before my time
Fdim 
A 
made your heart sad and blue
Em 
A 
And so my heart is paying now
Em 
A 
D 
for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
G 
that make the teardrops start
A 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Em 
A 
and melt your cold,
D 
G 
A

heart?
Em 
A 
D 
You'll never know how much it hurts
Fdim 
A 
To see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love,
D 
yet you're afraid to try.
Why do you run and hide from life?
G 
To try it just ain't smart.
A 
Em 
A 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Em 
A 
D 
And melt your cold, cold heart?
There was a time when I believed
Fdim 
That you belonged to     me
A 
Em 
A 
But now I know your heart is
Em 
A 
D 
shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,
G 
the more we drift apart
A 
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Em 
A 
D 
And melt your cold, cold heart?
