Intro: (4/4)
F  C  Bb  G
F  C  Bb  G

Verse 1: (5/4)

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


Bb                    G
I'm not one to regret Christmas in July


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

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


F                   C
I'm not one to admit; I'm not one to fight


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


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


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


Chorus: (3/4)

F        Eb     C      Bb
Open the cham - pagne, party and pensive


F           Eb    C   Bb
Your mother said it's very expensive


F           Eb   C   Bb
Do what you want to, don't even ask us


F         Eb    C    Bb            Dm
Paraguay, Bos - ton, Philly, Damascus


Interlude:
F  Dm  F  Bb

Verse 2: (5/4)

F                   C
Maybe it's the snow, the endless winter nights


Bb                  G
And the winter coat, the one you never liked


F                    C
But I'll take the sun and I'll take my kite


Bb                    G
Christmas on the beach, Christmas in July


F                    C
And I love my friends even if they fight


Bb                G
Christmas in July, just to keep them quiet


F                  C
And I love you too, I love you through the night


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


Interlude: (3/4)
F  Eb  C  Bb
F  Eb  C  Bb


F          Eb   C       Bb
Don't take o - ffenses; come to your senses


F           Eb  C   Bb             Dm
Your confidence is straddling fences


Outro:

F                   C
If I miss my chance, I didn't even try


Bb                    G
I'm not one to regret Christmas in July
