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.
