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.
