[Verse]
D D/C# Bm A
There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
G D/F# Em A*
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart and
D D/C# Bm A
Our dreams and they are made out of real things like
G D/F# Em A*
a shoebox of photographs and sepia-toned lovin'
D D/C# Bm A
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart like
G D/F# Em A*
why are we here and where do we go and how come it's so hard?
D D/C# Bm A
It's not always easy and 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*
mmmmm it's always better when we're together
A* Ab G*
Yeah well look at them stars when we're together
A* Ab G*
Well it's always better when we're together
A*
Yeah it's always better when we're together.
[Verse]
D D/C# Bm A
and all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
G D/F# Em A* D D/C#
but I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings or brings new things
Bm A G D/F# Em A*
for tomorrow night you'll see that they'll be gone too too many things I have to do.
D D/C# Bm A
but if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
G D/F# Em A* D D/C#
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between with only 2 just me and you
Bm A G D/F# Em A*
now so many things we got to do, or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now
[Chorus]
G* A* Ab G*
Yeah it's always better when we're together
A* Ab G*
mmmmm we're somewhere in between together
A* Ab G*
Well it's always better when we're together
A*
Yeah it's always better when we're together.
[Interlude]
D D/C# Bm A
Mmmm mmm mmmm
G D/F# Em A
Mmmm mmm mmmm
[Bridge]
Em A* Em A*
I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep, hey now and
Em A* Em A*
and when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me but there is
G* A* G* A*
not enough time. there is no, no song I could sing and there is no
G* A* G* A*
combination of words I could say but I will still tell you one thing we're better together
