Elton John - Cold As Christmas (In The Middle Of The Year): chords

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

It was the lure of the tropics
That I thought might heal the scars
Of a love burned out by silence
In a marriage minus heart

       B7
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

Chorus:
     Am/E
The temperature's up to ninety five
                Am    Am/G	   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	
So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle
         F
of the year

I dreamed of love in a better climate
And for what it's really worth
I put faith in the star we followed
To this Caribbean surf

But there's an icy fringe on everything
And I cannot find the lines
Where's the beauty in the beast we made
Why the frost in the summertime

And I call the kids on the telephone
Say there's something wrong out here
It's July but it's cold as Christmas
In the middle of the year

Chorus - x2

Cold as christmas in the middle of the year
Cold as christmas in the middle of the year
Cold as christmas in the middle of the year
Cold as christmas in the middle of the year
Cold as christmas!
(Cold as christmas in the middle of the year)
Cold as christmas in the middle of the year
