[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 It’s Friday, they
Dadd9
Both strip the bed,
Laundry day of the week
A Amaj7 taking it slow, the wind
Dadd9
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 No there’s nowhere that
A
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 But what else would
G
I need when
A
You're by my side A Amaj7 Dadd9 [Verse] A Amaj7 They go to the diner, and
Dadd9
Betty picks salad to
Leave room for pie
A Amaj7 Her face lights up as she chews and there’s no
Dadd9
Better view for Richard tonight [Pre-Chorus] B7 D No one is waiting
B7 D the pie is so sweet
F#m Esus4 Dadd9 The kids left ten years ago, and
D E A
Diner Day is the best day of the week Betty says [Chorus] A G I think we hacked it D Maybe we cracked it No there’s nowhere that
A
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 but my god it feels good with
E
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
