[Verse 1]
G Em7
We still sit at separate tables
C G
And we sleep at different times
D Em
And the warm wind in the palm trees
C
Hasn't helped to change our minds
[Refrain 1]
D/C G Em7
It was the lure of the tropics
C G
That I thought might heal the scars
D Em
Of a love burned out by silence
C
In a marriage minus heart
[Chorus 1]
Bsus4 B
And I call the kids on the telephone
Em
Say there's something wrong out here
C G
It's July but it's cold as Christmas
D
In the middle of the year
Esus4 E
The temperature's up to ninety five
Am F
But there's a winter look in your mother's eyes
C E/G#
And to melt the tears there's a heat wave here
F C G F
So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year
[Verse 2]
G Em7
I dreamed of love in a better climate
C G
And for what it's really worth
D Em
I put faith in the star we followed
C
To this Caribbean surf
[Refrain 2]
D/C G Em7
But there's an icy fringe on everything
C G
And I cannot find the lines
D Em
Where's the beauty in the beast we made
C
Why the frost in the summertime
[Chorus 2]
Bsus4 B
And I call the kids on the telephone
Em
Say there's something wrong out here
C G
It's July but it's cold as Christmas
D
In the middle of the year
Esus4 E
The temperature's up to ninety five
Am F
But there's a winter look in your mother's eyes
C E/G#
And to melt the tears there's a heat wave here
F C G F
So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year
[Interlude]
Esus4 E
The temperature's up to ninety five
Am F
But there's a winter look in your mother's eyes
C E/G#
And to melt the tears there's a heat wave here
F C G F
So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year
