Cold As Christmas In The Middle Of The Year Tab

by Elton John


 This is pretty similiar to the one found on "jumbo jimbo's" except that version has the 
placement quite wrong

intro:       

			  
We still sit at separate tables
         		   
And we sleep at different times
          		        
And the warm wind in the palm trees
         
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

       
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

      
The temperature's up to ninety five
		        		    
But there's a winter look in your mother's eyes
	  				
And to melt the tears there's a heat wave here
    							  		   
So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle 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
