[Verse 1]
 
G                   G/F#
 There’s no combi – nation of words
        Em                   D
I could put on the back of a postcard,
C             C/B
 No song that I  could sing.
    Am              D
But I could try for your heart and
G    G/F#                 Em               D
 Our dreams, and they are made out of real things,
       C            C/B
Like a   shoebox of photographs
     Am        D
With sepiatone loving.
G            G/F#
 Love is the answer,
             Em                       D
At least for most of the questions in  my heart,
     C            C/B                     Am
Like, “Why are we here?” and “Where do we go?”
                   D
And “How come it’s so hard?”
    G                 G/F#
And   it’s not always easy,
              Em               D
And sometimes life can be de – ceiving.
C                  C/B
 I’ll tell you one thing,
            Am                     D
It’s always better when we’re to – gether.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                  D
   Mm, it’s always better when we’re together.
C                         D
   Yeah, we’ll look at the stars when we’re together.
C                    D
   Well, it’s always better when we’re together.
C                    D
   Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together.

[Verse 2]
 
                  G
And all of these  moments
           G/F#                   Em             D
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
      C                         C/B
But I know that they’ll be gone
         Am                  D
When the morning light sings
              G        G/F#
Or brings new things.
         Em                   D
For to – morrow night you see
     C                    C/B
That they’ll be gone too.
         Am               D
Too many things I have to do.
                    G                G/F#
But if all of these dreams find their way
        Em                D
Into my day-to-day scene,
       C                   C/B
I’d be under the impress – sion
      Am                   D            G
I was somewhere in between    with only two,
                 G/F#
Just me and you.
            Em               D
Not so many things we got to do
   C                C/B
Or places we got to be.
               Am              D
We’ll sit be – neath the mango tree now.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                    D
   Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together.
C                      D
   Mm, we’re somewhere in between together.
C                    D
   Well, it’s always better when we’re together.
C                    D
   Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together.

G  G/F#   Em  D   C  C/B   Am  D
G  G/F#   Em  D   C  C/B   Am  D
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am                     D
   I believe in memo – ries;
              Am                         D
They look so,    so pretty when I sleep.
              Am                 D
Hey now, and,    and when I wake   up,
            Am
You look so pretty
                 D
Sleeping next to me.
             C                       D
But there is       not enough time,
                 C                          D
And there is no,      no song I could sing.
                C                         D
And there is no      combination of words   I could say,
           C
But I will still      tell you one thing:
D
  We’re better together.
