I ^Gtried so hard my dear to show that you're my every ^D7dream Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil ^Gscheme A memory from your lonesome past keeps us ^G7so far a^Cpart Why ^D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold ^Gheart

A^Gnother love before my time made your heart sad and ^D7blue And so my heart is praying now for things I didn't ^Gdo In anger unkind words are said that ^G7make the teardrops ^Cstart Why ^D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold ^Gheart

You'll ^Gnever know how much it hurts to see you sit and ^D7cry You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to ^Gtry Why do you run and hide from life to ^G7try it ain't just ^Csmart Why ^D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold ^Gheart

There ^Gwas a time when I believed that you belonged to ^D7me But now I know your heart is shackled to a memo^Gry The more I learn to care for you the ^G7more we drift a^Cpart Why ^D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold ^Gheart
