[Verse 1]
 
C                Em
 There's no combination of words
        Am                   G
I could put on the back of a postcard
F             C
 No song that I could sing
    Dm            G
But I can try for your heart,
C     Em                   Am               G
  our dreams, and they are made out of real things
      F            C
like a shoe box of photographs
     Dm          G
with sepia-toned loving
C             Em
  Love is the answer
             Am                       G
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
F            C                     Dm
  Why are we here? And where do we go?
                  G
And how come it's so hard?
C                 Em
  It's not always easy and
          Am            G
sometimes life can be deceiving
F                  C                  Am                  G
 I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
F                   G
  Mmmm, it's always better when we're together
F                         G
  Yeah, we'll look at the stars and we're together
F                   G
  Well, it's always better when we're together
F               G
  Yeah, so much better when we're together
 
C Em Am G F C Dm G x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                 C
And all of these moments
           Em                     Am            G
just might find their way into my dreams tonight
      F                      C
But I know that they'll be gone
         Dm              G
when the morning light sings
               C      Em
and brings new things
      Am                 G
for tomorrow night you see
     F                 C
that they'll be gone too,
         Dm               G
too many things I have to do
                    C                 Em
But if all of these dreams might find their way
        Am            G
into my day to day scene
       F                C
I'd be under the impression
      Dm               G
I was somewhere in between
          C
With only two,
             Em
Just me and you,
            Am               G
Not so many things we got to do
   F                C
or places we got to be
            Dm              G
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
F                   G
  Yeah, it's always better when we're together
F                       G
  Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
F                   G
  Well, it's always better when we're together
F               G
  Yeah, so much better when we're together
 
C Em Am G F C Dm G x2
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Dm                  G
   I believe in memories
            Dm                   G
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
            Dm            G
Hey now, and, and when I wake up,
            Dm                      G
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
            F            G
But there is not enough time,
               F                  G
And there is no, no song I could sing
               F                G
And there is no combination of words I could say
           F                   G
but I will still tell you one thing
 
We're better together

Transpose -7 to get the actual chords no capo

Doesn't need the capo on 5th fret, sounds a bit strained and definitely not the right tone. Also I think F C F G7 sounds better than F C F C for the chorus.

The last verse seems off time from chords to lyrics - I had to play in different places to make it sound good (acoustic uke with vocals).
