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

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]
x

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]
x

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)

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
