Verse 1:

                        F
        Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
                         Bb             Gm7
        And we wouldn't have to wait so long
            C7              F
        And wouldn't it be nice to live together
                        Bb              Gm7   C7
        In the kind of world where we belong

        Dm7/A                      Cm7/F
        You know it's gonna make it that much better
        Dm7/A                         Am7     Gm7    C7
        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

                            F
        Oh, wouldn't it be nice

Bridge (guitar repeats first two bars of intro):

        Dmaj7       Gmaj7                                F#m7           Bm7
        Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
        Dmaj7            Gmaj7                          F#m7       Bm7
        Maybe then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
                     F#m7                 Bm7
        We could be married (we could be married)
                         F#m7                C7
                         - last two bars of intro -
        And then we'd be happy (then we'd be happy)
                          F
        Oh, wouldn't it be nice

Coda:

        (slow down)

        Dm7/A                         Cm7/F
        You know it seems the more we talk about it
        Dm7/A                     Am7      Gm7
        It only makes it worse to live without it
                 Am7    Gm7       C7
        But lets talk about it

        (resume original tempo)

                        F
        Wouldn't it be nice

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