Better Together Tab

by Jack Johnson


 These chords sound pretty good with the music, I doubt they are the
 ones Jack uses but in my opinion they work very well with the song. Strum
 pattern I use is up down up DOWN (stress the last strum) and I realize 
 that he taps or smacks the strings instead of the last down strum, but
 this is just the way I do it.

Verse
                      
There's no combination of words
                                  
I could put on the back of a postcard
   /              
No song that I could sing
                        
But I can try for your heart,
                                           
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
            /             
like a shoe box of photographs
                     
with sepia-toned loving
                
Love is the answer
                                       
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
           /                                  
Why are we here? And where do we go?
                       
And how come it's so hard?
                     
It's not always easy and
                         
sometimes life can be deceiving
 /                                                
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together


Chorus 
/                                  
Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
/                                     
Yeah we'll look at them stars and we're together
/                                  
Well, it's always better when we're together
/                               
Yeah it's always better when we're together

Verse 2
                   
And all of these moments
                                        
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
 /                 
But I know that they’ll be gone
                  
when the morning light sings
              
and brings new things
                 
for tomorrow night you see
 /            
that they’ll be gone too,
             
too many things I have to do
                                   
But if all of these dreams might find their way
                   
into my day to day scene
   /              
I'd be under the impression
                    
i was somewhere in between
          
With only two,
          
Just me and you,
                          
Not so many things we got to do
    /             
or places we got to be
                    
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,


Chorus
/                              
Yeah It's always better when we're together
/                              
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
/                                
Well, it's always better when we're together
/                             
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
                                
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
                         
Hey now, and when I wake up,
                                   
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
                          
But there is not enough time,
                            
There is no, no song I could sing
                               
and there is no combination of words I could say
                                
but I will still tell you one thing

We're Better together
