CAPO 3rd FRET

(Original Key: F)

Intro:

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

Verse 1:

(n.c) D
Wouldn't it be nice,
If we were older?
And we wouldn't,
[G] Have to wait so [Em7]long.
And [A7]wouldn't it be [D]nice,
To live together,
In the kind of [G]world,
Where we be-[Em7]long?[A7]

Bridge 1:

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

Verse 2:

Wouldn't it be [D]nice,
If we could wake up,
In the morning,
[G] When the day is [Em7]new?
And [A7]after having,
[D] Spent the day together;
Hold each other [G]close,
The whole night [Em7]through.[A7]

Bridge 2:

[Bm7] What happy times together,
[Am7] We'd be spending,
[Bm7] I wish that every kiss,
Was [F#m7]ne-ver [Em7]end-ing.[A7]
Oh, wouldn't it be [D]nice?

Middle 8:

F# Ebm Abm B,

[Bmaj7] Maybe if we [Emaj7]think and wish,
And hope and pray,
It [Ebm7]might come true?[Abm7]
[Bmaj7] Maybe then there [Emaj7]wouldn't be,
A single thing we [Ebm7]couldn't do?[Abm7]

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

Bridge 3:

(Slower Tempo):

[Bm7] You know it seems the more,
We [Am7]talk about it,
[Bm7] It only makes it worse,
To [F#m7]live with-[Em7]out it,
But lets [F#m7]talk a-[Em7]bout it.[A7]

(Faster Tempo):

Wouldn't it be [D]nice?

Coda:

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

(Repeat to Fade)
