Cold As Christmas In The Middle Of The Year Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F C D/E C

GWe still sit at separate tEm7ables

 And we slCeep at different tGimes

 And the wDarm wind in the palm trEmees

 Hasn't heClped to change our minds

GIt was the lure of the tEm7ropics

 That I thCought might heal the sGcars

 Of a loveD burned out by sEmilence

 In a marrCiage minus heart

 And I cB7all the kids on the telephone

 Say there's something wrEmong out here

 It's JulCy but it's cold as CGhristmas

 In the mDiddle of the year

 The teAm/Emperature's up to ninety five

 But there's a winterAm look Am/Gin your mother's eFyes

 And to melCt the tears there's a heat wavE/G♯e here

 So hFow come it's cold asC Christmas in the middle of the yeGar F

GI dreamed of love in a better climaEm7te

 And for wChat it's really woGrth

 I put faiDth in the star we folloEmwed

 To this CCaribbean surf

GBut there's an icy fringe on everytEm7hing

 And I canCnot find the liGnes

 Where's tDhe beauty in the beast Emwe made

 Why the fCrost in the summertime
