[E] I've got [D] to go away
[Em] Oh, darling, it's [E] cold outside
[D] This evening [A] has been
Just hoping that you'd drop in
So [Am] very nice
I'll [C] hold your [D] hands, they're just like [Bm] ice
My mother will start [E] to worry
Beautiful, what's [Bm] your hurry?
My father will be pacing [E] the floor
Listen [G] to that [C#m] fireplace roar
So really I'd [E] better scurry
Beautiful, please [Em] don't hurry
Well, maybe just to have [A] a drink
Why don't you put some music on while I pour?
The neighbors will [Bm] think
Baby, it's bad out there
[Em] Say, what's in this [A] drink?
No cabs to be had out [D] there
I wish [A] I knew how
The [D] highs are like starlight
To [Am] break the spell
I'll take your hat, [D] your hair [G] looks swell
I ought to say no, sir
Mind if I'm [C#m] moving closer?
At least [E] I'm gonna say that I tried
Oh, what's the sense in hurting [A] my pride?
I really can't [B] stay

It's warm in here.
[E] You don't understand.
I simply [A] must [B] go
Baby, it's [A] cold outside
[E] Oh, the answer is no
[D] Oh, darling, it's cold outside
This [B] welcome has been
Lucky that you dropped in
So [Am] nice and warm
[A] Look out that window at [D] that storm
My [G] sister will be suspicious
But your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Breeze upon a tropical [D] shore
My maiden heart's [E] mind is vicious
But your lips are [Em] delicious
Well, maybe just a half a [G] drink more
There was never such [A] a visitor before
Oh, I've gotta go home
Baby, you'll [Bm] freeze out there
[Em] Say, lend me your coat
It's [G] up to your knees out [B] there
You've really [A] been grand
[D] I frail when you touch my hand
But [Am] don't you see
How [D] can you do this thing to [G] me?
There's bound to be talk [E] tomorrow
Think of my lifelong [C#m] sorrow
At least [E] there will be plenty [D] implied
If [A] you're caught pneumonia and die
