[G]We still sit at separate t[Em7]ables
And we sl[C]eep at different t[G]imes
And the w[D]arm wind in the palm tr[Em]ees
Hasn't he[C]lped to change our minds
[G]It was the lure of the t[Em7]ropics
That I th[C]ought might heal the s[G]cars
Of a love[D] burned out by s[Em]ilence
In a marr[C]iage minus heart
And I c[B7]all the kids on the telephone
Say there's something wr[Em]ong out here
It's Jul[C]y but it's cold as C[G]hristmas
In the m[D]iddle of the year
The te[Am/E]mperature's up to ninety five
But there's a winter[Am] look [Am/G]in your mother's e[F]yes
And to mel[C]t the tears there's a heat wav[E/G#]e here
So h[F]ow come it's cold as[C] Christmas in the middle of the ye[G]ar[F]

And for w[C]hat it's really wo[G]rth
I put fai[D]th in the star we follo[Em]wed
To this C[C]aribbean surf
[G]But there's an icy fringe on everyt[Em7]hing
And I can[C]not find the li[G]nes
Where's t[D]he beauty in the beast [Em]we made
Why the f[C]rost in the summertime
