[Intro]
A  Amaj7 Dadd9
[Verse]
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
[Instrumental]
A  Amaj7 Dadd9
[Verse]
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
