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
