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

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]

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
