A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 Dadd9Dadd9



🎸 Verse 1:

A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
It’s 7.15, and Richard and
Dadd9Dadd9
Betty are waking up soon
A augmentedA          Amaj7Amaj7
The dog’s on the bed, the paper unread
Dadd9Dadd9
the sun fades the moon
B7B7       D MajorD
no one is waiting
B7B7         D MajorD
or tapping their foot
F# minorF#m     Esus4Esus4   Dadd9Dadd9
Richard and Betty are sleeping
       E MajorE      A augmentedA
And the world doesn’t look

A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7        Dadd9Dadd9
It’s Friday, they both strip the bed, laundry day of the week
A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7        Dadd9Dadd9
taking it slow, the wind softly blows through the sweet-smelling sheets

🎸 Pre-Chorus:

B7B7       D MajorD
No one is waiting
B7B7       D MajorD
Rich takes her hand
F# minorF#m   Esus4Esus4   Dadd9Dadd9
He spins Betty carefully
      E MajorE    A augmentedA
the slowest slow dance

And he says


🎸 Chorus:

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

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

A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 Dadd9Dadd9

🎸 Verse 2:

A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7        Dadd9Dadd9
They go to the diner, and Betty picks salad to leave room for pie
A augmentedA             Amaj7Amaj7
Her face lights up as she chews
           Dadd9Dadd9
and there’s no better view for Richard tonight


🎸 Pre-Chorus:

B7B7     D MajorD
No one is waiting
B7B7       D MajorD
the pie is so sweet
  F# minorF#m Esus4Esus4  Dadd9Dadd9        D MajorD     E MajorE        A augmentedA
The kids left ten years ago, and Diner Day is the best day of the week

Betty says


🎸 Chorus:

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

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


🎸 Bridge:

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

🎸 Outro:

A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 Dadd9Dadd9

A augmentedA      Amaj7Amaj7
Richard and Betty turn out the light
Dadd9Dadd9
The day is now done
A augmentedA           Amaj7Amaj7
Holding hands as they sleep
         Dadd9Dadd9
They both end the week

Ready for another one
