Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[A7] [D] I [D]tried so hard my dear to show that you’re my every [A7]dream Yet you’re afraid each thing I do is just some evil [D]scheme A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far [G]apart Why [A7]can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold [D]Heart.

[D]Another love before my time made your heart sad and [A7]blue And so my heart is paying now for things I didn’t [D]do In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops [G]start Why [A7]can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold [D]Heart.

You’ll [D]never know how much it hurts to see you sit and [A7]cry You know you need and want my love yet you’re afraid to [D]try Why do you run and hide from life, to try it just ain’t [G]smart Why [A7]can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold [D]Heart.

There [D]was a time when I believed that you belonged to [A7]me But now I know your heart is shackled to a memo[D]ry The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift a[G]part Why [A7]can’t I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold [D]Heart.
