[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

[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
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
