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]
