Intro:

F#  Ebm  Abm  B,
F#  Ebm, A (n.C)

Verse 1:

(n.C)	        D
 Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
                 G               Em7
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long.
    A7             D
And wouldn't it be nice to live together,
	       G                 Em7   A7
In the kind of world where we be-long?

Bridge 1:

Bm7                          Am7
 You know it's gonna make it that much better,
Bm7                            F#m7      Em7    A7
 When we can say goodnight and stay...to-gether.

Verse 2:

               D
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up,
                G               Em7
In the morning, when the day is new?
    A7           D
And after having spent the day together;
                G                      Em7     A7
Hold each other close, the whole night through.

Bridge 2:

Bm7                        Am7
 What happy times together we'd be spending,
Bm7                         F#m7     Em7    A7
 I wish that every kiss was ne...ver ending.
	           D
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

Middle 8:

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                  Abm7
We could be married, (we could be married),
	         Ebm7                 A7
And then we'd be happy, (then we'd be happy).
	           D
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

Break:

D

Bridge 3:

(Slower Tempo):

Bm7                            Am7
 You know it seems the more we talk about it,
Bm7                        F#m7         Em7
 It only makes it worse 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
 (Ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba),
(Ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba),
Good night, baby, sleep tight, baby.
Good night, baby, sleep tight, baby.
