VERSE 1:

  8     -8      7 -8     6   7   7    6       -8   7  

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older 

    8     -8     7    -8      -6    -8     -8    8   -6  6 -5 

Then we wouldn't have to wait so lo-o-ong

 -8       8   -8      7 -8    6     7    7     6  -8   7 

And wouldn't it be nice to live together

 8  -8      7    -8     -6      -8         -8     8   -6   6  -5  

In the kind of world where we'd be-lo-o-ong

      5         5*    6 -6      -7    7   -8     -5      -6     6 

Though it's gonna make it that much better

      5      5    -5    6      -6     -7      7       9     7   8   -8 

When we can say goodnight and stay together

VERSE 2: 

   8     -8     7 -8     6   7   7      6        -8     7 

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up 

 8   -8     7    -8       -6    -8     -8    8   -6  6 -5

In the morning when the day is ne-e-ew

 -8    8  -8     7  -8       6       7     7     6  -8   7

And after that to spend the day together 

   8       -8     7   -8    -6     -8      -8        8      -6   6  -5 

Hold each other close the whole night thr-o-ugh

5     5*      6      -6   -7   7  -8     -5     -6      6

Happy times together we'd be spending 

5    5     -5    6   -6   -7     7     9   7     8   -8

I wish that ev'ry kiss was never ending 

  7    -8     7   -6   7     7 

Oh wouldn't it be nice

BRIDGE:

 -4/  5  -7  -6   -6/   -6/    5*      5*     5       5      -4

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray 

-4  -4/      5*     5  -4  -4/

It might come tr-u-ue

-4/  5   -7    -6      -6/  -6/     5* 5*  5   5    -4

Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing 

-4    -4/   5*    5  -4  -4/

We couldn't do-oo-oo

 -6     -6/    -6    -7    8 

We could be married

-6/   -6     -6/    -6    -7    8

And then we'd be happy

  7    -8     7   -6   7     7 

Oh wouldn't it be nice

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

VERSE 3:

  5      5      5*      6      -6     -7      7    -8     -5  -6   6

You know it seems the more we talk about it

5   5  5*    6     -6     -7      7     9     7     8   -8

It only makes it worse to live without it

  8    -9      9      7  8   -8

But let's talk about it

  7    -8     7    -6    7      7

But wouldn't it be nice

OUTRO (to fade):

    7         6      4   5  6

Goodnight, oh baby

     7        6       4   5   6

Sleep tight, my baby
