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

Standard Tuning
intro: F  C  D/E  C

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

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
