Verse one A I tried so hard my dear to show that E7 You're my every dream yet you're afraid A Each thing I do is just some evil scheme E7 A memory from your lonesome past keeps A7 D Us so far apartVerse two 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 in anger A Unkind words are said that make the E7 Teardrops start why can't I free your doubt ful mind and A Melt your cold, cold heart Verse three 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 E7 Why can't I free your doubt ful mind and A Melt your cold, cold heart Verse four A There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me E7 But now I know your heart is shack ed to a memory A The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart E7 Why can't I free your doubt ful mind and A Melt your cold, cold heartG E7 Why can't I free your doubt ful mind and A Melt your cold, cold heart
