[Verse]
C C/B
There's no combination of words
Am Am/G
I could put on the back of a postcard
F C/E
No song that I could sing
Dm G
But I can try for your heart,
C C/B Am Am/G
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
F C/E
Like a shoe box of photographs
Dm G
With sepia-toned loving
C C/B
Love is the answer
Am Am/G
At least for most of the questions in my heart like
F C/E Dm
Why are we here? And where do we go?
G
And how come it's so hard?
C C/B
It's not always easy and
Am Am/G
Sometimes life can be deceiving
F C/E Dm G
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together
[Chorus]
F G (F# - F)
Mmmm, it's always better when we're together
F G (F# - F)
Yeah, we'll look at the stars and we're together
F G (F# - F)
Well, it's always better when we're together
F G (F# - F)
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
[Interlude]
C C/B Am Am/G F C/E Dm G
C C/B Am Am/G F C/E Dm G
[Verse]
C
And all of these moments
C/B Am Am/G
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
F C/E
But I know that they’ll be gone
Dm G
When the morning light sings
C C/B
And brings new things
Am Am/G
For tomorrow night you see
F C/E
That they’ll be gone too,
Dm G
Too many things I have to do
C C/B
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Am Am/G
Into my day to day scene
F C/E
I'd be under the impression
Dm G
I was somewhere in between
C
With only two,
C/B
Just me and you,
Am Am/G
Not so many things we got to do
F C/E
Or places we got to be
Dm G
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now
[Chorus]
F G (F# - F)
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
F G (F# - F)
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
F G (F# - F)
Well, it's always better when we're together
F G (F# - F)
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
[Interlude]
C C/B Am Am/G
Mmm mmm mm mm mmm mm mm mmm
F C/E Dm G
Mm mm mm mm mmm mmmm mm mmm
[Instrumental]
C C/B Am Am/G F C/E Dm G
[Bridge]
Dm G
I believe in memories they look so
Dm G
So pretty when I sleep hey now and
Dm G
When I wake up you look so
Dm G
Pretty sleeping next to me but there is
F G
Not enough time there is no
F G
No song I could sing and there is no
Dm/F G
Combination of words I could say
Dm/F G
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together
[Outro]
C C/B Am Am/G F C/E Dm G
C C/B Am Am/G F C/E Dm G

Ehm, if you're going to play along with the CD version, the capo has to be on fifth fret, not fourth. Other than that, and what mattdot666 said, it's pretty good.

was very good,
but i think it just goes from F to G in the chorus
and same with the last line in the verse
+9

Sorry man thats wrong. When I play it (without capo) I go F-Am-Dm-C-Bb-Am-Gm-C and on the chorus just Bb-C 4 times. Its easier to sing to if your gonna sing.
