[Verse 1]
     F                                  Fm              C
I've tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
    C                                          C7   F
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
  F                              F7               A#
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
    C                                            C7         F
Why can't I free your doubtul mind and melt your cold, cold heart


[Verse 2]
F                           Fm                      C
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
                                           C7     F
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
   F                                 F7                 A#
In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
    C                                             C7         F
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart


[Verse 3]
F                                      Fm              C
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
    C                                         C7        F
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
    F                              F7                   A#
Why do you run and hide from life, to try it just ain't smart
    C                                             C7         F
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart

[Verse 4]
      G                               Gm              D
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
    D                                 D7       G
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
    G                                 G7             C
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
    D7                                                       G
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart.
