Verse 1:
(n.c) D
Wouldn't it be nice,
If we were older?
And we wouldn't,
G Em7
Have to wait so long.
A7 D
And wouldn't it be nice,
To live together,
G
In the kind of world,
Em7 A7
Where we be-long?
Bridge 1:
Bm7
You know it's gonna make it,
Am7
That much better,
Bm7
When we can say goodnight,
F#m7 Em7 A7
And stay to-gether.
Verse 2:
D
Wouldn't it be nice,
If we could wake up,
In the morning,
G Em7
When the day is new?
A7
And after having,
D
Spent the day together;
G
Hold each other close,
Em7 A7
The whole night through.
Bridge 2:
Bm7
What happy times together,
Am7
We'd be spending,
Bm7
I wish that every kiss,
F#m7 Em7 A7
Was ne-ver end-ing.

Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

Middle 8:
F# Ebm Abm B,
Bmaj7 Emaj7
Maybe if we think and wish,
And hope and pray,
Ebm7 Abm7
It might come true?
Bmaj7 Emaj7
Maybe then there wouldn't be,
Ebm7 Abm7
A single thing we couldn't do?
Ebm7
We could be married,
Abm7
(We could be married),
Ebm7
And then we'd be happy,
A7
(Then we'd be happy).
D
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Bridge 3:
(Slower Tempo):
Bm7
You know it seems the more,
Am7
We talk about it,
Bm7
It only makes it worse,
F#m7 Em7
To live with-out it,
F#m7 Em7 A7
But lets talk a-bout it.
(Faster Tempo):
D
Wouldn't it be nice?
Coda:
D
Good night, baby,
Sleep tight, baby,
Good night, baby,
Sleep tight, baby.
