[Start]

[Verse]
F7                Gm  
■  I really can't stay
              G7          
But baby it's cold outside
  G7            
I got to go away
              G7          
But baby it's cold outside
G7                   
This evening has been
                 G7           
Been hoping that you'd drop in
   G7       
So very nice
               G7                         
I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
Eb             Cm            
My mother will start to worry
Gm                         
Beautiful what's your hurry
    Eb7                            
And father will be pacing the floor
       Eb7                  
Listen to the fireplace roar
                     G7    
So really I'd better scurry
                       G7   
Beautiful please don't hurry
C                              C7  
Well maybe just a half a drink more
         C7                     
Put some records on while I pour
D7                  G7   
The neighbors might think
              G7           
But baby it's bad out there
                   D7   
Say what's in this drink
        C7                 
No cabs to be had out there
C7               
I wish I knew how
              C7                
Your eyes are like starlight now
             Cm   
To break the spell
               Cm                       
I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
Cm                         
I ought to say no no no Sir
Cm                      
Mind if I move in closer
                              Ab   
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
                               Ab   
What's the sense of hurting my pride
         Ab        
I really can't stay
              G            
Oh baby don't hold out baby
             C7   Bm      C7
Ahh but it's cold outside ■ 
  D7            
I simply must go
              G7          
But baby it's cold outside
D7              
The answer is no
              C7   D7     
But baby it's cold outside
                G7  
The welcome has been
               G7            
How lucky that you dropped in
            C   
So nice and warm
C                                
Look out the window at that storm
Eb C7                       
My sister will be suspicious
F7                  Eb       
Gosh your lips look delicious
   Eb                               
My brother will be there at the door
      Eb                   
Waves upon a tropical shore
   Eb                           
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
                   Eb       
Gosh your lips are delicious
C          C7                   
Well maybe just a cigarette more
      C7                    
Never such a blizzard before
                G7  
I've got to get home
                G7              
But baby you'll freeze out there
D7                
Say lend me a comb
                D7             
It's up to your knees out there


[Chorus]
D7                      
You've really been grand
              D7               
I thrill when you touch my hand
              D7 
But don't you see
            D7                 
How can you do this thing to me
Eb            Cm    Eb           
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
                      Eb    
Think of my life long sorrow
                    Cm            
At least there will plenty implied
   Cm                           
If you caught pneumonia and died
Fm                 
I really can't stay
              G           
Get over that old out baby
             C7   F7     
Ahh but it's cold outside
Gm7                     
Where could you be going
                                  Gm   Bb     
When the wind is blowing and it's cold outside
Gm        C7   F    F7 F7     
Baby it's cold cold ■  outside
