[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:]
F
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
Bb Gm7
In the morning when the day is new
C7 F
And after having spent the day together
Bb Gm7 C7
Hold each other close the whole night through
Dm7/A Cm7/F
What happy times together we'd be spending
Dm7/A Am7 Gm7 C7
I wish that every kiss was never ending
F
Oh, wouldn't it be nice

[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
Dmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Bm7
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]
