If I missed my chance, I didn't even try

I'm not one to regret Christmas in July


FF         C majorC
If my timing is bad, like a fish on a bike

Bb majorBb           G+G
Would you let me pretend: Christmas in July?


FF          C majorC
I'm not one to admit; I'm not one to fight


Bb majorBb        G+G
Maybe I was wrong, or maybe I was right


FF             C majorC
Like when I went to school, drinking coffee at night


Bb majorBb          G+G
And I did what I did; now I do what I like

Open the cham - pagne, party and pensive

Do what you want to, don't even ask us

And the winter coat, the one you never liked


FF          C majorC
But I'll take the sun and I'll take my kite


Bb majorBb          G+G
Christmas on the beach, Christmas in July


FF          C majorC
And I love my friends even if they fight


Bb majorBb        G+G
Christmas in July, just to keep them quiet


FF         C majorC
And I love you too, I love you through the night


Bb majorBb            G+G
But now that you're away, Christmas isn't right
