Verse 1:

FF Piano Chord 

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
BbBb Piano Chord 
             Gm7Gm7 Piano Chord 

And we wouldn't have to wait so long
C7C7 Piano Chord 
              FF Piano Chord 

And wouldn't it be nice to live together
BbBb Piano Chord 
              Gm7Gm7 Piano Chord 
   C7C7 Piano Chord 

In the kind of world where we belong

Dm7/ADm7/A Piano Chord 
                      Cm7/FCm7/F Piano Chord 

You know it's gonna make it that much better
Dm7/ADm7/A Piano Chord 
                         Am7Am7 Piano Chord 
     Gm7Gm7 Piano Chord 
    C7C7 Piano Chord 

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

FF Piano Chord 

Oh, wouldn't it be nice

                                F#m7F#m7 Piano Chord 
           Bm7Bm7 Piano Chord 

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Dmaj7Dmaj7 Piano Chord 
            Gmaj7Gmaj7 Piano Chord 
                          F#m7F#m7 Piano Chord

Maybe then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
F#m7F#m7 Piano Chord 
                 Bm7Bm7 Piano Chord 

We could be married (we could be married)

- last two bars of intro -
And then we'd be happy (then we'd be happy)

Oh, wouldn't it be nice

Coda:

(slow down)

Dm7/ADm7/A Piano Chord 
                         Cm7/FCm7/F Piano Chord 

You know it seems the more we talk about it
Dm7/ADm7/A Piano Chord 
                     Am7Am7 Piano Chord 
      Gm7Gm7 Piano Chord 

It only makes it worse to live without it
Am7Am7 Piano Chord 
    Gm7Gm7 Piano Chord 
       C7C7 Piano Chord 

But lets talk about it

(resume original tempo)

FF Piano Chord 

Wouldn't it be nice

Good night, baby
Sleep tight, baby... [fade]
