"Better Together"
G D11/F#
There's no combination of words
Em Em/D
I could put on the back of a postcard
C C9/B
No song that I could sing but
Am7 D
I can try for your heart
G D11/F#
Our dreams and they are
Em Em/D
Made out of real things
C C9/B
Like a shoebox of photographs
Am7 D
With sepia-toned loving
G D11/F#
Love is the answer at least
Em Em/D
For most of the questions in my heart
C C9/B Am7
Why are we here? And where do we go?
D
And how come it's so hard?
G D11/F#
It's not always easy and sometimes
Em Em/D
Life can be deceiving
C C9/B
I'll tell you one thing
Am7 D
It's always better when we're together
C D
Yeah it's always
.
Better when we're together
.
Hum we're somewhere
.
In between together
.
Well it's always
.
Better when we're together
.
Yeah it's always
.
Better when we're together
.
G D11/F# Em Em/D C C9/B Am7 D
.
G
And all of these moments just might
D11/F# Em Em/D
Find their way into my dreams tonight
C C9/B
But I know that they'll be gone
Am7 D
When the morning light sings
G D11/F#
Or brings new things
Em Em/D
For tomorrow night you see
C C9/B
That they'll be gone too,
Am7 D
Too many things I have to do
G
But if all of these dreams might find
D11/F# Em Em/D
Their way into my day to day scene
C C9/B
I'd be under the impression
Am7 D
I was somewhere in between
<G D11/F#
With only two, just me and you,
Em Em/D
Not so many things we got to do
C C9/B
Or places we got to be we'll sit
Am7 D
Beneath the mango tree now
C D
Yeah it's always
.
Better when we're together
.
Hum we're somewhere
.
In between together
.
Well it's always
.
Better when we're together
.
Yeah it's always
.
Better when we're together
.
G D11/F# Em Em/D C C9/B Am7 D
.
Am7 D
I believe in memories they look so,
Am7 D
So pretty when I sleep
Am7 D
And now when, and when I wake up
Am7
You look so pretty
D
Sleeping next to me
C D
But there is not enough time
C D
And there is no no song I could sing
C D
And there is no combination of words
C
I could say but I will still
D
Tell you one thing
.
We're better together
.
