Standard (EADGBE)

I tried so hard my dear to show that

 you're my every dream yet you're afraid

 each thing I do is just some evil scheme

a memory from your lonesome past keeps us

 so far apart.

Chorus

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and

 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.
