| [F] . There's no combi- [Am] nation of words
I could | [Dm] put on the back of a [C] postcard |
| [Bb] . No song that [F] I could sing
But | [Gm] I can try for [C] your heart |
| [F] . Our [Am] dreams
and they are | [Dm] made out of real [C] things, like a |
| [Bb] . shoe box of [F] photographs
With | [Gm] sepia- toned [C] loving |
| [F] . Love is the [Am] answer
At least for | [Dm] most of the questions in [C] my heart like |
| [Bb] . Why are we [F] here?
And where do we | [Gm] go? And how come it's [C] so hard? |
| [F] . It's not always [Am] easy and
Sometimes | [Dm] life can be de- [C] ceiving
| [Bb] . I'll tell you one [F] thing,
it's always | [Gm] better when we're to- [C] gether |
Chorus
| [Bb] .. Mmmm, it's always | [C] better when we're together |
| [Bb] .. Yeah, we'll look at the | [C] stars and we're together |
| [Bb] .. Well, it's always | [C] better when we're together |
| [Bb] .. Yeah, it's always | [C] better when we're together |
Interlude
| [F] [Am] | [Dm] [C] | [Bb] [F] | [Gm] [C] |
| [F] [Am] | [Dm] [C] | [Bb] [F] | [Gm] [C] |
And all of these | [F] moments just might [Am] find their way into my |
| [Dm] dreams to- [C] night
But I | [Bb] know that they'll be [F] gone
When the | [Gm] morning light [C] sings
And brings | [F] new things [Am] .
For to- | [Dm] morrow night you [C] see
That | [Bb] they'll be gone [F] too
Too many | [Gm] things I have to [C] do
But if all of these | [F] dreams might find [Am] their way
Into my | [Dm] day to day [C] scene
I'd be | [Bb] under the im- [F] pression
I was | [Gm] somewhere in be- [C] tween
With only | [F] two, just me and [Am] you
Not so many | [Dm] things we got to [C] do
Or | [Bb] places we got to [F] be
We'll sit be- | [Gm] neath the mango [C] tree now |
Chorus
| [Bb] .. Yeah, it's always | [C] better when we're together
| [Bb] .. Mmmm, we're somewhere | [C] in between together
| [Bb] .. Well, it's always | [C] better when we're together
| [Bb] .. Yeah, it's always | [C] better when we're toget her
Interlude
| [F] . Mmm | [Am] mmm mm | [Dm] mm mmm | [C] mmm |
| [Bb] . Mm mm mm | [F] mm mmm | [Gm] mmmm | [C] mm mmm mm |
| [F] [Am] | [Dm] [C] | [Bb] [F] | [Gm] [C] |
Bridge
| [Gm] .. I believe in me- | [C] mories they look so |
| [Gm] .. So pretty when I | [C] sleep, hey now and |
| [Gm] .. When I | [C] wake up you look so |
| [Gm] Pretty sleeping next to | [C] me, but there is |
| [Bb] .. Not enough | [C] time there is no |
| [Bb] .. No song I could | [C] sing, and there is no |
| [Gm] .. Combination of | [C] words I could say |
But I will | [Gm] still, tell you one | [C!] thing. We're better together
Outro
| [F] [Am] | [Dm] [C] | [Bb] [F] | [Gm] [C] |
| [F] [Am] | [Dm] [C] | [Bb] [F] | [Gm] [C] | [F!]
