• Difficulty: Intermediate

🎸 Intro:

A Amaj7 Dadd9




🎸 Verse 1:

A    Amaj7
It’s 7.15, and Richard and
Dadd9
Betty are waking up soon
A          Amaj7
The dog’s on the bed, the paper unread
Dadd9
the sun fades the moon
B7       D
no one is waiting
B7         D
or tapping their foot
F#m     Esus4   Dadd9
Richard and Betty are sleeping
       E      A
And the world doesn’t look

A     Amaj7        Dadd9
It’s Friday, they both strip the bed, laundry day of the week
A     Amaj7        Dadd9
taking it slow, the wind softly blows through the sweet-smelling sheets


🎸 Pre-Chorus:

B7       D
No one is waiting
B7       D
Rich takes her hand
F#m   Esus4   Dadd9
He spins Betty carefully
      E    A
the slowest slow dance

And he says


🎸 Chorus:

A     G
I think we hacked it
     D
Maybe we cracked it
                  A
No there’s nowhere that I’d rather be
       G
My wife is a beauty
       D
My life is a doozy

I’ve been smiling since ‘73
A
thank god
G
We said
D
Goodbye to the city
A      G       D
You’ll never take me there alive
A
One car
G
No phone
D
might not be as pretty
           G           A
But what else would I need when you're by my side

A Amaj7 Dadd9


🎸 Verse 2:

A        Amaj7        Dadd9
They go to the diner, and Betty picks salad to leave room for pie
A             Amaj7
Her face lights up as she chews
           Dadd9
and there’s no better view for Richard tonight


🎸 Pre-Chorus:

B7     D
No one is waiting
B7       D
the pie is so sweet
  F#m Esus4  Dadd9        D     E        A
The kids left ten years ago, and Diner Day is the best day of the week

Betty says


🎸 Chorus:

A     G
I think we hacked it
     D
Maybe we cracked it
                  A
No there’s nowhere that I’d rather be
       G
I still feel it all
       D
Since we kissed in the fall

After dancing in ‘73
A
Thank god
G
We said
D
Goodbye to the city
A      G       D
You’ll never take me there alive
A
One car
G
No phone
D
might not be as pretty
          G            E
but my god it feels good with just you by my side


🎸 Bridge:

E       D
Make a home in nowhere
E       D
Make a home with me
        (Thank god we said goodbye to the city)
E       D
Make a home in nowhere
        (I still feel it all since we kissed in the fall)
E       D
Make a home with me
        (one car, no phone, might not be as pretty)
E       D
Make a home with me
        (Thank god we said goodbye)

🎸 Outro:

A Amaj7 Dadd9

A      Amaj7
Richard and Betty turn out the light
Dadd9
The day is now done
A           Amaj7
Holding hands as they sleep
         Dadd9
They both end the week
