Capo. 1st Fret
[INTRO]
[A] (X2) [E] (X2)repeat
[A]I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
[A]I've [D]got to go away - Baby it's [E]cold outside
[A]This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
[A]So very n[D]ice - I'll hold your hand[E]s, they're just like ice
[E]My [F#m]mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
[F#m]My f[D]ather will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
[D]So [F#m]really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
[F#m]well [D]Maybe just a half a drink more - [E]Put some music on while I pour
[A]The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
[A]Say, [D]what's in this drink - No cabs to be had[E] out there
[E]I [A]wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
[A]To break this spell [D] - I'll take your hat,[E7] your hair looks swell
[E7]I o[F#m]ught to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
[E7]At [D]least I'm gonna say that I tried - [E]What's the sense in hurting my pride
[A]I really can't stay - Baby d[F#m]on't hold out
[F#m]Ahh, but it's [D]cold [E]outside[A]
C'mon baby
[A]I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
[A]The [D]answer is no - Ooh baby, it's co[E]ld outside
[E]This [A]welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
[A]So nice and wa[D]rm -- Look out the win[E7]dow at that storm
[F#m]My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
[F#m]My b[D]rother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
[D]My [F#m]maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
[F#m]Well [D]maybe just a half a drink more - [E]Never such a blizzard before
[A]I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
[A]Say,[D] lend me your comb - It's up to your kn[E]ees out there
[E]You've [A]really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
[A]But don't you see[D] - How can you d[E7]o this thing to me
[E7]There's [F#m]bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
[F#m]At l[D]east there will be plenty implied [E] - If you caught pneumonia and died
[E]I [A]really can't stay - Get over that [F#m]old out
[F#m]Ahh, but it's [D]cold [E]outside[A]
