Baby It's Cold Outside Tab par Frank Loesser

I [C] really can't stay                      But baby it's [Cmaj7] cold outside

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

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

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

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 more  Put [G] some records on while I pour


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

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

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

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

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

At [Fm] least i'm gonna say that i 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



I simply must go...                     But baby it's cold outside
The answer is no...                     But baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been                How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm                       Look out that window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious              Gosh your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door     Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious        Gosh your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more       Never such a blizzard before


I've got to get home                    But baby you'd freeze out there
Say, lend me a coat                   It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand             I'm thrilled when you touch my hand
Why don't you see                     How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow  Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied  If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay                             Get over that hold-out

Ah,  but it's [D7] cold      [G7] out-     [C] side

  Baby,  it's [D7] cold      [G7] out-     [C] side
