[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?

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]

[Interlude]

C C/B Am Am/G F C/E Dm G

[Verse]

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

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

( - )

When I wake up you look so

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
