Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Verse 1: A I've tried so hard, my dear, to show E7 That you're my every dream E7 Yet you're afraid each thing I do A Is just some evil scheme Chorus: A A memory from your lonesome past D Keeps us so far apart E7 Why can't I free your doubtful mind A And melt your cold cold heart?
Verse 2: A Another love before my time E7 Made your heart sad and blue E7 And so my heart is paying now A For things I didn't do {Chorus] A In anger, unkind words I said D That make the teardrops start E7 Why can't I free your doubtful mind A And melt your cold cold heart? Interlude: ||: A E7 A D E7 A || Verse 3: A There was a time when I believed E7 That you belonged to me E7 But now I know your heart is shackled A To a memory Chorus: A The more I learn to care for you D The more we drift apart E7 Why can't I free your doubtful mind A And melt your cold cold heart?
