I really can't stay

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

Baby, it's cold outside

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
