6 6 -5 -5 5 5 I tried so hard, my dear,

-4 -4 4 4 3 3 3 -3 to show that you’re my ev’-ry dream,

-7 -7 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 Yet you’re a-fraid each thing I do

-3 -3 -5 5 -4 5 is just some e-vil scheme,

6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 -4 A mem-‘ry from your lone-some past

4 5 5 -5 6 -6 keeps us so far a-part,

-7 -7 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 Why can’t I free your doubt-ful mind

-3 -3 -5 5 -4 4 and melt your cold, cold heart.

6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 -4 An-oth-er love be-fore my time

4 4 3 3 3 -3 made your heart sad and blue,

-7 -7 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 And so my heart is pay-ing now

-3 -3 -5 5 -4 5 for things I did-n’t do,

6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 -4 In an-ger, un-kind words are said

4 5 5 -5 6 -6 that make the tear-drops start,

-7 -7 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 Why can’t I free your doubt-ful mind

-3 -3 -5 5 -4 4 and melt your cold, cold heart.
