   G            C
I really can't stay
                Am
Baby it's cold outside
     Dm         G
I've got to go away
But baby, it's cold outside
      C
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
         Gm
So very nice
                A               C       F
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
     F
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
    D
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fire place roar
     C
So really I'd better scurry
Am                        Dm
Beautiful, please don't hurry
But maybe just half a drink more
G
Put some records on while I pour
 
[Verse 2: Avril Lavigne & Johnny Blu, Both]
        C
The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Am   Dm              G
Say what's in this drink?
                     Ab       G
Ain't no cabs to be had out there
     C
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
               Gm
To break the spell
               C                     F
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
                      Eb
I ought to say no no no, sir
Do you Mind if I move in closer?
    D                          G
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?
     C          Am
I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out
            D   G  C Cm
Baby it's cold outside

C
I simply must go
            Em
Baby, it's cold outside
      Dm       G Ab
The answer is "No"
But, baby, it's cold outside
        C
This welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
         Gm  Dm C
So very warm
Look out the window at that storm
     F
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh your lips look delicious
      D
My brother will be there at the door
               C
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Am                   D
Ooh, your lips are delicious
                            G
But maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
 
[Verse 4: Avril Lavigne & Johnny Blu, Both]
      C
I've got to get home
But Baby, you'll freeze out there
Am    Dm        G
Say, lend me a coat?
                 Ab        G
It's up to your knees out there
         C         G
You've really been grand
                    C
I thrill when you touch my hand
              Gm
But don't you see
            C
How can you do this thing to me?
         Dm
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Eb
Think of my life-long sorrow
D                               G
At least there will be plenty implied
If you got pneumonia and died
   C
I really can't stay
               Am
Get over that hold out
           D
Baby it's cold
F           G  C   F  C Dm Gm C7
Baby it's cold outside
