[Intro]
F  C  D/E  C
F  C  D/E  C
[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
