Standard Tuning 
intro: FCD/EC
GEm7 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/G# 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
