COLD COLD HEART
JOHNNY CASH
Originally by Hank Williams
This is from a show that he did.
I Gtried so hard my dear to show that you're my every D7dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil Gscheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us G7so far aCpart
Why D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold 
cold Gheart
AGnother love before my time made your heart sad and D7blue
And so my heart is praying now for things I didn't Gdo
In anger unkind words are said that G7make the teardrops 
Cstart
Why D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
Gheart
You'll Gnever know how much it hurts to see you sit and D7cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to Gtry
Why do you run and hide from life to G7try it ain't just 
Csmart
Why D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
Gheart
There Gwas a time when I believed that you belonged to D7me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memoGry
The more I learn to care for you the G7more we drift aCpart
Why D7can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
Gheart
