F                     C
If I missed my chance, I didn't even try
A#                    G
I'm not one to regret Christmas in July
F                  C
If my timing is bad, like a fish on a bike
A#                      G
Would you let me pretend: Christmas in July?

I'm not one to admit, I'm not one to fight
Maybe I was wrong, but maybe I was right
Like when I went to school, drinking coffee at night
And I did what I did, now I do what I like

Chorus:
F         D#  C      A#
Open the champagne, party and pensive
F            D#   C   A#
Your mother said it's very expensive
F            D#   C   A#
Do what you want to, don't even ask us
F         D#  C    A#           Dm
Paraguay, Boston, Philly, Damascus

Maybe it's the snow, the endless winter nights
And the winter coat, the one you never liked
But I'll take the sun and I'll take my kite
Christmas on the beach, Christmas in July

And I love my friends, even if they fight
Christmas in July, just to keep them quiet
And I love you too, I love you through the night
But now that you're away, Christmas isn't right

F          D# C       A#
Don't take offenses; come to your senses
F          D#   C    A#            Dm
Your confidence is straddling fences

F                   C
If I miss my chance, I didn't even try
A#                    G
I'm not one to regret Christmas in July
