[Verse]                                                                     
 [C]   There's no combi [C/B] nation of words                                              
I could  [Am] put on the back of a  [G] postcard
 [F]   No song that  [C/E] I could sing
But  [Dm] I can try for  [G] your heart,
 [C]   Our  [C/B] dreams, and they are m [Am] ade out of real thi [G] ngs
Like a  [F] shoe box of  [C/E] photographs
With  [Dm] sepia-toned  [G] loving
 [C]   Love is the  [C/B] answer
At least for  [Am] most of the questions in  [G] my heart like
 [F]   Why are we  [C/E] here? And where do we  [Dm] go
And how come it's  [G] so hard?
 [C]   It's not always  [C/B] easy and
Sometimes  [Am] life can be de [G] ceiving
 [F]   I'll tell you one  [C/E] thing, it's always  [Dm] better when we're to [G] gether
[Chorus]          
 [F]   Mmmm, it's always  [G] better when we're together
 [F]   Yeah, we'll look at the  [G] stars and we're together
 [F]   Well, it's always  [G] better when we're together
 [F]   Yeah, it's always  [G] better when we're together

[Verse]              
And all of these  [C] moments
Just might  [C/B] find their way into my d [Am] reams tonight [G] ,
But I  [F] know that they'll be  [C/E] gon
When the  [Dm] morning light  [G] sings
And brings  [C] new things  [C/B]    
For to [Am] morrow night you  [G] see
That  [F] they'll be gone  [C/E] too
Too many  [Dm] things I have to  [G] d
But if all of these  [C] dreams might find  [C/B] their way
Into my  [Am] day to day scen [G] e
I'd be  [F] under the imp [C/E] ression
I was  [Dm] somewhere in bet [G] ween
With only  [C] two,
Just me and  [C/B] you
Not so many  [Am] things we got to  [G] d
Or  [F] places we got to  [C/E] be 
We'll sit be [Dm] neath the mango  [G] tree, now
[Chorus]          
 [F]   Yeah, it's always  [G] better when we're together
 [F]   Mmmm, we're somewhere  [G] in between together
 [F]   Well, it's always  [G] better when we're together
 [F]   Yeah, it's always  [G] better when we're together
[Interlude]           
 [C]   Mmm  [C/B] mmm mm m [Am] m mmm mm m [G] m mmm

[Bridge]          
 [Dm]   I believe in  [G] memories they look so
 [Dm]   So pretty when I  [G] sleep hey now and
 [Dm]   When I  [G] wake up you look so  [Dm] pretty
  Sleeping next to  [G] me but there is
 [F]   Not enough  [G] time there is no
 [F]   No song I could  [G] sing and there is no
 [Dm]   Combination of  [G] words I could say
But I will  [Dm] still tell you one  [G] thing
We're better together
