Cold Cold Heart Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

I [G]tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every [D7]dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil [G]scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us [G7]so far a[C]part
Why [D7]can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold
cold [G]heart

A[G]nother love before my time made your heart sad and [D7]blue
And so my heart is praying now for things I didn't [G]do
In anger unkind words are said that [G7]make the teardrops
[C]start
Why [D7]can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
[G]heart

You'll [G]never know how much it hurts to see you sit and [D7]cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to [G]try
Why do you run and hide from life to [G7]try it ain't just
[C]smart
Why [D7]can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
[G]heart

There [G]was a time when I believed that you belonged to [D7]me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memo[G]ry
The more I learn to care for you the [G7]more we drift a[C]part
Why [D7]can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
[G]heart
