[Verse 1]
[C]We still [G]sit
at separate [Em]tables,
and we [C]sleep at different [G]times
And [D]the warm wind in the [Em]palm trees
hasn't [C]helped to change our minds
It was the [G]lure of the trop[Em]ics
that I [C]thought might heal the [G]scars
Of a [D]love burned out by si[Em]lence
in a [C]marriage by this heart
And I [Bsus4]call the kids on the telephon[B]e
and say there's [Em]something
wrong out here
It's July [C]but it's cold as [G]Christmas
in the [D]middle of the year
The [Esus4]tem perature's up to 95
[E]but there's a win[Am]ter look
[G]in [Am]your [F]mother's eyes
And to [C]melt the tears
there's a [E]heatwave here
So [F]how come it's as [C]cold as Christmas
In the [G]middle of the [F]year?
[C][D][Em][C][F][C][D]
[C]
I dreamed of [G]love in a better cli[Em]mate
And for [C]what it's really [G]worth
I put [D]faith in the star we followed
[Em]To this Cari[C]bbean surf
But there's an [G]icy fringe on everything
[Em]And I cann[C]ot find the line[G]s
Where's the [D]beauty in
the beast [Em]we made?
Why the [C]frost in the summertime?
And I [Bsus4]call the kids on the telephone,
[B]say there's som[Em]ething
wrong out here,
it's July [C]but it's cold as [G]Christmas
in the [D]middle of the year.
The [Esus4]temperature's up to [E]95,
but there's a [Am]winter look
[G]in your [F]mother's eye and to melt
[C]Melodies, there's a hea[E]twave here,
so how [F]come it's as [C]cold as Christmas,
in the [G]middle of the [F]year?
The [Esus4]temperature's up to [E]95,
but there's a [Am]winter look
in your [F]mother's eyes, that's
[C]Melodies, there's a [E]heatwave here,
So how [F]come it's as [C]cold as Christmas
In the [G]middle of the [F]year?
[C]
