COLD COLD HEART
JOHNNY CASH
Originally by Hank Williams
This is from a show that he did.
G D7
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream
G
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
G7 C
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
D7
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold
G
cold heart
G D7
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
G
And so my heart is praying now for things I didn't do
G7
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops
C
start
D7
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
G
heart
G D7
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
G
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
G7
Why do you run and hide from life to try it ain't just
C
smart
D7
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
G
heart
G D7
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
G
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
G7 C
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
D7
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold
G
