When It's Cold Outside
Bill Elg
4/4 time

Intro [D][A][Em][G]x2


[D]He watched the snowflakes[A]dancing in the[Em]wind.[G]
It was[D]another sure[A]sign that[Em]winter had[G]arrived.
He looked[D]out at the[A]cold and just[Em]grinned.[G]
He just[D]wished that[A]summer could be[Em]revived.[G]


Chorus


[G]And when it's[D]cold outside,it[A]warms your heart to[Em]be inside.
With the[D]one you[A]love.
And when it's[D]cold outside,it[A]warms your heart to[Em]be inside.
With the[D]one you[A]love.


[D]He stepped out and the[A]snow[Em]crackled from the[G]cold.
And a[D]calf had just been[A]born in his[Em]barn.[G]
He was[D]wondering was this[A]life making him[Em]old.[G]
Or[D]should he[A]sell his dammed old[Em]farm.[G]


Repeat Chorus


[D]She waited at the[A]house with a[Em]coffee in her[G]hand.
He would[D]soon need the[A]warmth from the[Em]winter[G]outside.
And[D]there in the[A]doorway was her[Em]man.[G]
she[D]put her arms[A]around him and[Em]cried.[G]


Repeat Chorus


[D]she sat down at the[A]table just[Em]thankful he's[G]alive.
And he[D]drove through the[A]storm and got[Em]lost on the[G]way.
And she[D]waited five[A]days for him to[Em]arrive.[G]
She got[D]down on her[A]knees and[Em]prayed.[G]

Repeat Chorus
With the[Em]one you[D]love.
