[Verse 1]

D              D^
There's no combination of words
        Bm                   A
I could put on the back of a postcard
G            D/F#
No song that I could sing
    Em            A*
But I can try for your heart
D   D^                    Bm               A
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
        G          D/F#
Like a, shoebox of photographs
      Em       A*
With sepiatone loving
D           D^
Love is the answer,
             Bm                       A
At least for most of the questions in my heart
    G          D/F#                   Em
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
                      A*
And how come it's so hard?
D               D^
It's not always easy and
           Bm           A
Sometimes life can be deceiving
G                  D/F#              Em                  A*          Ab*
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together


[Chorus:]

G*                A*                     Ab* G*
MMM it's always better when we're together
                         A*                     Ab* G*
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
                    A*                     Ab* G*
Well, it's always better when we're together
                    A* (hold)
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

[Verse 2]

D                 D^
And all of these moments
                                   Bm      A
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
       G                    D/F#
But I know that they'll be gone
           Em            A*
When the morning light sings
     D          D^
And brings new things
      Bm                A
For tomorrow night you see
      G              D/F#
That they'll be gone too
           Em             A*
Too many things I have to do
                    D                        D^
But if all of these dreams might find their way
         Bm          A
Into my day to day scene
         G          D/F#
I'd be under the impression
       Em              A*
I was somewhere in between
            D
With only two
             D^
Just me and you
             Bm               A
Not so many things we got to do
     G             D/F#
Or places we got to be 
           Em                     A*  Ab*
We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now


[Chorus]

G*            A*                     Ab* G*
It's always better when we're together
              A*                        Ab* G*
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
                   A*                      Ab* G*
Well, it's always better when we're together
                   A*(hold)                    
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

[Outro]

G*
MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
              A*
I believe in memories
             G*                  A*
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
        G*          A*
Hey now, and when I wake up,
              G*                     A*
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
             G*           A*
But there is not enough time,
             G*                   A*
And there is no, no song I could sing
             G*                  A*
And there is no, combination of words I could say
             G*                 A* (hold)
But I will still tell you one thing

We're better together.
