verse 1: Avril Lavigne & Johnny Blu 
   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? 
                     G#       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 
                      D# 
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

verse 3: Avril Lavigne & Johnny Blu 
C 
I simply must go 
            Em 
Baby, it's cold outside 
      Dm       G G# 
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? 
                 G#        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 
D# 
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
