Wouldn't It Be Nice (Brian Wilson/Tony Asher)


A...F#m7...Bm7...D...A...F#m7...C6...C

...........................F.............................................................Bb.....Dm7/A...Gm7
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older and we wouldn't have to wait so long
..........C7...................F........................................................Bb...........Dm7/A..Gm7...C7
And wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong
Dm/A.....................................Cm7/F
You know it's gonna make it that much better
Dm/A............................................Am7...Gm7...C7
When we can say goodnight and stay together

...........................F...................................................................Bb......Dm7/A..Gm7
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up in the morning when the day is new
.........C7..................F...............................................................Bb........Dm7/A...........Gm7......C7
And after having spent the day together hold each other close the whole night through
Dm/A....................................Cm7/F
What happy times together we'd be spending
Dm/A..................................Am7..Gm7..C7
I wish that every kiss was never ending
...........................F
Oh, wouldn't it be nice

Dmaj9...........Gmaj9...............................................F#m7..............Bm7
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Dmaj9....................Gmaj9......................................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
And then we'd be happy (then we'd be happy)
............................F
Oh, wouldn't it be nice

Dm/A.............................................Cm7/F
You know it seems the more we talk about it
Dm/A.................................Am7.....Gm7.................Am7..Gm7....C7
It only makes it worse to live without it but let's talk about it
........................F
Wouldn't it be nice, good night, baby, sleep tight, baby...

.............Bm7/F#...................E7
I could try to be big in the eyes of the world

I'm a little bit scared 'cause I haven't been home in a long time

.......A6.......................................................................................E7sus4........E7
My folks when I wrote them told 'em what I was up to said that's not me
..........................A6................................................................................E7sus4.........E7
I went through all kinds of changes took a look at myself and said that's not me
...Bm7/F#.......................E7
I miss my pad and the places I've known
........Bm7/F#.............E7..................................C#m7....F#maj7....G#m7/F#
And every night as I lay there alone I would dream

...F#maj7.......................G#m7/F#..............................F#maj7.....G#m7/F#
I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city
.........Gmaj7......................Am7/G......................Gmaj7....Am7/G
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
.......Cmaj7..............................C7..........................................F........F7
I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready

...F#maj7........................G#m7/F#.............................F#maj7.....G#m7/F#
I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city

I'm Waiting For The Day  (Brian Wilson/Mike Love)


E.....................................C#m7
I came along when he broke your heart
..............................F#m/E.....................................D/E..............B7
That's when you needed someone to help forget about him
E........................................C#m7
I gave you love with a brand new start
..............................F#m/E.........................................D/E................B7
That's what you needed the most to set your broken heart free
G#m7.............................G#m7/C#.........A....................................Am6/C
I know you cried, and you felt blue, but when I could I gave strength to you
G#m7..........C#m7......................A/G........B/F#.....E
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

E
I kissed your lips and when your face looked sad
.....................F#m7...........................................B7
It made me think about him and that you still loved him so
E
But pretty soon when I made you feel glad
.......................F#m7...................................B7
That you belonged to me and love began to show
G#m7...........................G#m7/C#............A...............................................Am6/C
He hurt you then, but that's all gone, I guess I'm saying you're the only one
G#m7..........C#m7.....................A/G.........B/F#.....E
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

E.......................F#m7....................B7

Dm/F C/G Am6 C/Bb E/B / / /

E
You didn't think that I could sit around and let him work
You didn't think that I could sit around and let him take you
You didn't think that I could sit around and let him go
You didn't think that I could sit back and let you go

I know so many people who think they can do it alone

I know there's an answer
Bb/F...................Gm......................Cm7.......Cm7/F
I know now but I have to find it by myself

They trip through their day and waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I come on
Db.............................Ab.................Gm..........Fm...Eb......./D../C
And tell them the way that they live could be better
