There's no combination of words  I could put on the back of a postcard    
Bb                            Gm           C    
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart and    
F                       	Dm              C    
Our dreams and they are made out of real things like a    
Bb                           Gm    C    
shoebox of photographs and sepia-toned lovin    
F                               Dm                      C    
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart like    
Bb		     	         Gm   			C    
why are we here? and where do we go? and how come its so hard?    
F                                 Dm            C    
Its not always easy and sometimes life can be decieving    
Bb                                  Gm                  C    
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together    
    
Bb               C    
mmmmm its always better when we're together    
Bb                     C    
Yeah well look at them stars when we're together    
Bb                      C    
Well it's always better when we're together    
Bb                     C    
Yeah its always better when we're together.

		F                		        Dm           C    
and all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight    
      Bb               		          Gm           C    
but I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings     
	       F               Dm	      C    
or brings new things, for tomorrow night you'll see    
    Bb				   Gm		   C    
that they'll be gone too too many things I have to do.    
		    F 					Dm	    C    
but if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene    
	Bb			     Gm		  C    
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between    
	  F 				   Dm		    C    
with only two, just me and you now so many things we got to do,     
    Bb				   Gm		    C    
or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now    
    
    
Bb               C    
mmmmm its always better when we're together    
Bb                     C    
mmmm we're somewhere in between together    
Bb                      C    
Well it's always better when we're together    
Bb                     C    
Yeah its always better when we're together.

Gm7           C                     Gm7                 C    
I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep, hey now and    
Gm7            C               Gm7                       C    
and when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me but there is    
Bb           C            Bb                   C    
not enough time. there is no, no song I could sing and there is no    
Bb              C                            Bb                   C    
combination of words I could say but I will still tell you one thing    
we're better together.
