Verse 1:
F
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Bb Gm7
And we wouldn't have to wait so long
C7 F
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
Bb Gm7 C7
In the kind of world where we belong
Dm7/A Cm7/F
You know it's gonna make it that much better
Dm7/A Am7 Gm7 C7
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Verse 2:
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
What happy times together we'd be spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
F
Oh, wouldn't it be nice
v v v v v v v v

Bridge (guitar repeats first two bars of intro):
Dmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true

Maybe then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
F#m7 Bm7
We could be married (we could be married)
F#m7 C7
- last two bars of intro -
And then we'd be happy (then we'd be happy)
F
Oh, wouldn't it be nice
Coda:
(slow down)
Dm7/A Cm7/F
You know it seems the more we talk about it
Dm7/A Am7 Gm7
It only makes it worse to live without it
Am7 Gm7 C7
But lets talk about it
(resume original tempo)
F
Wouldn't it be nice
Good night, baby
Sleep tight, baby... [fade]
