Cold as Christmas in the middle of the year by Elton John
Key:FF| Capo:0fr|
Intro: FCD/ECGEm7
We still sit at separate tables
CG
And we sleep at different times
DEm
And the warm wind in the palm trees
C
Hasn't helped to change our minds
GEm7
It was the lure of the tropics
CG
That I thought might heal the scars
DEm
Of a love burned out by silence
C
In a marriage minus heart
B7
And I call the kids on the telephone
Em
Say there's something wrong out here
CG
It's July but it's cold as Christmas
D
In the middle of the year
Am/E
The temperature's up to ninety five
AmAm/GF
But there's a winter look in your mother's eyes
CE/Ab
And to melt the tears there's a heat wave here
FCGF
So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year
GEm7
I dreamed of love in a better climate
CG
And for what it's really worth
DEm
I put faith in the star we followed
C
To this Caribbean surf
GEm7
But there's an icy fringe on everything
CG
And I cannot find the lines
DEm
Where's the beauty in the beast we made
C
Why the frost in the summertime
