Intro: A E (2x) 

A 
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside  
A    D                          E 
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside  
A 
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in  
A        D                        E 
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice  
E  F#m                                    
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry  
F#m D 
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar  
D  F#m                        
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry  
F#m  D                                E 
well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour 
  
A 
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there 
A    D                                       E  
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there  
E A 
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now  
A                   D                    E7 
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell 
E7 F#m  
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer  
E7 D                                  E 
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride 
A                           F#m 
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out 
F#m           D    E      A   
Ahh, but it's cold outside  

C'mon baby 

A 
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside 
A   D                               E  
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside  
E    A 
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in  
A             D                     E7 
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm  
F#m 
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious  
F#m D 
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore  
D  F#m 
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious  
F#m  D                                E 
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before  

A 
I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there  
A   D                                      E 
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there  
E      A               
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now  
A                D               E7 
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me  
E7      F#m  
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow  
F#m D                                 E 
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died  
E A                                 F#m 
I really can't stay - Get over that old out  
F#m           D    E      A 
Ahh, but it's cold outside
