      [Intro]

Bb Db Eb

[Verse 1]
  Db
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
     Ab
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
     Db
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
               Ab              Db
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice


[Verse 2]
   Gb
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Gb
Father will be pacing the floor - Just listen to the fireplace roar
    Db
So really I'd better scurry - Sweetheart, what's your hurry?
Eb
Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour


[Verse 3]
    Db
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
     Ab
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
  Db
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
                      Ab             Db
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell


[Verse 4]
Gb
I ought to say no, no, no sir - Mind if I move in closer?
   Eb
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
  Db                             Bb
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
           Eb   Ab  Db
Baby, it's cold outside


[Instrumental]

Db


[Verse 5]
   Db
I simply must go - Baby it's cold outside
    Eb
The answer is no - Baby it's cold outside
     Db
This welcome has been - So lucky that you dropped in
                   Ab            Db
So nice and warm - Look out that window, at that storm


[Verse 6]
Gb
My sister will be suspicious - God, your lips look so delicious
Gb
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon the tropical shore
   Db
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Ooh baby  you're so delicious
      Eb
Well, maybe, just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before


[Verse 7]
  Db
I got to get home - You'd freeze out there
     Ab
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
       Db
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hair
                    Ab          Db
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?


[Verse 8]
        Gb
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow
   Eb
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
  Db                                Bb
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
               Ebm  Ab  Db
Ah, baby, it's cold outside
