{c:verse 1}
I [C]really can't [Cmaj7]stay (But baby it's [C]cold out-[Cmaj7]side)
I've [Dm]got to go a-[G7]way (But baby it's [Dm]cold out-[G7]side)
The [C]evening has [Cmaj7]been (Been hoping that [C]you'd drop in)
So very [Gm7]nice (I'll hold your [C7]hands, they're just like ice)
{soc}
My [F]mother will start worry (Beautiful what’s your hurry?)
And [Fm]father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
So [C]really i'd better scurry (Beautiful, please don't hurry)
But [Dm]maybe just a half a drink [G]more (Put some records on while I pour)
{eoc}
{c:verse 2}
The [C]neighbors might [Cmaj7]think (Baby it's [C]bad out [Cmaj7]there)
Say, [Dm]what's in this [G7]drink? (No cabs to be [Dm]had out [G7]there)
I [C]wish i knew [Cmaj7]how (Your eyes are like [C]starlight now)
To break the [Gm7]spell (I'll take your [C7]hat, your hair looks swell)
{soc}
I [F]ought to say, "No, no, no sir" (Mind if I move in closer?)
At [Fm]least i'm gonna say that I [G7]tried (What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)
I [C]really can't [Bb7]stay (Baby don't [A7]hold out)
Ah, but it's [D7]cold [G7]out-[C]side
{eoc}
{c:verse 3}
I [C]simply must [Cmaj7]go (Baby, it's [C]cold out-[Cmaj7]side)
The [Dm]answer is [G7]no (Ooh darling, it's [Dm]cold out-[G7]side)
This [C]welcome has [Cmaj7]been (I'm lucky that [C]you dropped in)
So nice and [Gm7]warm (Look out the [C7]window at that storm)
{soc}
My [F]sister will be suspicious (Man, your lips look delicious)
My [Fm]brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore)
My [C]maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious)
Well [Dm]maybe just a half a drink [G]more (Never such a blizzard before)
{eoc}
{c:verse 4}
I've [C]got to go [Cmaj7]home (Oh, baby, you'll [C]freeze out [Cmaj7]there)
Say, [Dm]lend me your [G7]coat (It's up to your [Dm]knees out [G7]there)
You've [C]really been [Cmaj7]grand (I thrill when you [C]touch my hand)
But don't you [Gm7]see? (How can you [C7]do this thing to me?)
{soc}
There's [F]bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow)
At [Fm]least there will be plenty im-[G7]plied (If you caught pneumonia and died)
I [C]really can't [Bb7]stay (Get over that [A7]hold out)
Ahh, but it's [D7]cold ... [G7]out ... [C]side ...
