[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
Ready for another one
It's 7.15, and Richard and
Betty are waking up soon
The dog's on the bed, newspaper unread, the sun fades the moon
No one is waiting
Or tapping their foot
Betty and Richard are sleeping
And the world doesn't look
It's Friday, they both strip the bed, laundry day of the week
Taking it slow, the wind softly blows through the sweet smelling sheets
No one is waiting
Rich takes her hand
He spins Betty carefully
The slowest slow dance
And he says
I think we hacked it
Maybe we cracked it
No there's no where that I'd rather be
My wife is a beauty
My life is a doozy
I've been smiling since '73
Thank god
We said
Goodbye to the city
You'll never take me there alive
One car
No phone
Might not be as pretty
But what else would I need when you're by my side
They go to the diner, and Betty picks salad to leave room for pie
Her face lights up as she chews
And there's no better view for Richard tonight
No one is waiting
The pie is so sweet
The kids left ten years ago, and Diner Day is the best day of the week
Betty says
I think we hacked it
Maybe we cracked it
No there's no where that I'd rather be
I still feel it all
Since we kissed in the fall
After dancing in '73
Thank god
We said
Goodbye to the city
You'll never take me there alive
One car
No phone
Might not be as pretty
But my god I feel good with just you by my side
Make a home in nowhere
Make a home with me
(Thank god we said goodbye to the city)
Make a home in nowhere
(I still feel it all
Since we kissed in the fall)
Make a home with me
(One car, no phone, might not be as pretty)
Richard and Betty turn out the light
The day is now done
Holding hands as they sleep
They end the long week
Ready for another one
