Elton John – Cold As Christmas In The Middle Of The Year (Guitar)

             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

D/C        G               Em7
It was the lure of the tropics

              C                     G
That I thought  might heal the scars

          D               Em
Of a love  burned out by silence

         C
In a marriage minus heart

       Bsus4                  B
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

    Esus4                   E
The temperature's up to ninety five

              Am                        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              F
So how   come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year

             G                  Em7
I dreamed of love in a better climate

             C                  G
And for what   it's really worth

            D                  Em
I put faith   in the star we followed

            C
To this Caribbean surf

D/C              G                 Em7
  But there's an   icy fringe on everything

        C                  G
And I cannot find the lines

                D             Em
Where's the beauty in the beast we made

              C
Why the frost   in the summertime

       Bsus4                  B
And I call the kids on the telephone

               Em
Say there's something wrong out here

          C                  G
