I really can't stay 
But baby it's cold outside 

 Dm  G7  Dm  G7 
I've got to go away 
But baby it's cold outside 

 C  Cmaj7  C  C 
The evening has been 
Been hoping that you'd drop in 

 Gm7  Gm7  C7  C7 
So very nice 
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice 

 F  F  F  F 
My mother will start worry 
Beautiful what’s your hurry? 

 Fm  Fm  Fm  Fm 
And father will be pacing the floor 
Listen to the fireplace roar 

 C  C  C  C 
So really i'd better scurry 
Beautiful please don't hurry 

 Dm  Dm  G  G 
But maybe just a half a drink more 
Put some records on while I pour 

 C  Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7 
The neighbors might think 
Baby it's bad out there 

 Dm  G7  Dm  G7 
Say, what's in this drink? 
No cabs to be had out there 

 C  Cmaj7  C  C 
I wish i knew how 
Your eyes are like starlight now 

 Gm7  Gm7  C7  C7 
To break the spell 
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell 

 F  F  F  F 
I ought to say, "No, no, no sir" 
Mind if I move in closer 

 Fm  Fm  G7  G7 
At least i'm gonna say that i tried 
What's the sense in hurtin' my pride? 

 C  Bb7  A7  A7 
I really can't stay 
Baby don't hold out 

 D7  G7  C  C 
Ah, but it's cold outside
