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 
                 
a memory from your lonesome past keeps us 
 A7     D
so far apart.

Chorus
G    E7        
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and 
                     A
melt your cold,cold heart.

2.
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue 
and so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do in anger 
unkind words are said that make the 
teardrops start why can't I free your doubtful mind and 
melt your cold, cold heart.

3.
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
you know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try 
why do you run and hide from life to try it just just ain't smart  
why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart.

4.
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me 
but now I know your heart is shackled to a memory 
the more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart 
why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart.
