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
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
       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
      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                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
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
