VERSE 1:
D                        
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older,
                      G               Em  A 
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long?
                   D
And wouldn't it be nice to live together,
               G                     Em  A 
In the kind of world where we belong?

You know its gonna make it that much better,(Oooh)
Bm                            F#m       Em   A      
When we can say goodnight and sleep together. 
               D
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up,(Oooh-bupbup)
               G                   Em   A 
In the morning when the day is new? (Oooh-bupbup)
                 D
And after having spent the day together. (Oooh-bupbup)
                G                        Em    A
Hold each other close the whole night through,
Bm                   G
Happy times together we've been spending.
Bm                         F#m       Em  A
I wish that every kiss was neverending
                  N/C
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

NOTES:
1.  This my alternative take on the chords, to make it a little more accessible.
2.  "Wouldn't It Be Nice" introduces the album with a sound described by Nick Kent as "limpid harps 
imitating a teenage heartstrings in a tug of love" with it followed by "growling horns ... [and] 
harmonies so complex they seemed to have more in common with a Catholic Mass than any cocktail lounge 
acappella doo-wop." -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_Sounds
3.”Well, the gist of it was that Carl [Wilson, Beach Boys guitarist and co-vocalist] and I wanted to 
bring some love to people, you know? 'Cause we figured the missing ingredient in life was love. 
So we said, "We want to create an album that has a lot of love-vibes in it, to make people feel loved.
" That's all we wanted to do. We weren't trying to prove anything musically. We just wanted to bring 
some love to people.”  http://-.avclub-/article/brian-wilson-14013
