VERSE 1
F                 F|E                    Dm                    C
There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
A#           Am                Gm            C
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
F     F|E                Dm               C
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
       A#           Am               Gm          C
Like a,  shoebox of photographs with sepia-tone loving
F            F|E                 Dm                       C
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
A#              Am                    Gm                    C
Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?
F               F|E                Dm             C
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
A#                 Am                Gm                 C
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together


CHORUS
 A#              C                       B
Mmm, it's always better when we're together
 A#                     C                      B
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
 A#               C                       B
Well, it's always better when we're together
 A#               C                  
Yeah, it's always better when we're together


INTERLUDE
/F-F|E-/Dm-C-/A#-Am-/Gm-C-/ (x2)


VERSE 2
                 F                  F|E                    Dm         C
And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
      A#                   Am            Gm              C
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
               F     F|E       Dm              C
And brings new things   for tomorrow night you see
     A#              Am           Gm               C
That they'll be gone too too many things I have to do
                    F                 F|E               Dm            C
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
       A#               Am        Gm                C
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
          F               F|E              Dm               C
With only two just me and you, Not so many things we got to do
   A#               Am              Gm             C
Or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now


CHORUS
A#                C                       B 
Yeah, It's always better when we're together
A#              C                       B
Mmm, we’re somewhere in between together
A#                C                       B
Well, it's always better when we're together
 A#               C                  
Yeah, it's always better when we're together


INTERLUDE
Mmm, mmm, mmm
/F-F|E-/Dm-C-/A#-Am-/Gm-C-/ (x2)


VERSE 3
Gm                 C                    Gm                  C     
   I believe in memories, they look so,    so pretty when I sleep
           Gm        C                   Gm                      C
Hey now, and when I wake up, you look so pretty sleeping next to me
          A#             C                    A#                C
But there is not enough time, and there is no,  no song I could sing
                A#               C         
And there is no,  combination of words I could say
            A#                C           
But I will still tell you one thing we're better together. 

/F-/ F|E -/Dm-/C-/A#-/Am-/Gm-/C-/ x2
