        << Back to Jack Johnson Song List
Version 1 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8
            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]
   F                   Am
There's no combination of words
       Dm                           C
I could put on the back of a postcard
   Bb               Am
No song that I could sing
   Gm                     C
But I can try for your heart,
          F        Am             Dm           C
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
            Bb                Am
like a shoe box of photographs
         Gm            C
with sepia-toned loving
   F             Am
Love is the answer
               Dm                        C
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
           Bb                     Am
Why are we here? And where do we go?
         Gm              C
And how come it's so hard?
      F               Am
It's not always easy and
           Dm              C
sometimes life can be deceiving
 Bb                  Am                 Gm                C
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together
[Chorus]
Bm                                     C
Mmmm, it's always better when we're together
Bm                                        C
Yeah we'll look at them stars and we're together
Bm                                     C
Well, it's always better when we're together
Bm                                  C
Yeah it's always better when we're together
F  Am  Dm  C  Bb  Am  Gm  C  x2
[Verse 2]
     F              Am
And all of these moments
 Dm                                       C
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
    Bb                 Am
But I know that they’ll be gone
 Gm                 C
when the morning light sings
 F             Am
and brings new things
 Dm                C
for tomorrow night you see
    Bb            Am
that they’ll be gone too,
 Gm            C
too many things I have to do
                   F                Am
But if all of these dreams might find their way
     Dm              C
into my day to day scene
      Bb              Am
I'd be under the impression
       Gm             C
I was somewhere in between
          F
With only two,
          Am
Just me and you,
             Dm             C
Not so many things we got to do
     Bb             Am
or places we got to be
           Gm
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,
[Chorus]
Bb                                  C
Yeah, it's 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, it's always better when we're together
F  Am  Dm  C  Bb  Am  Gm C  x2
Gm                 C
I believe in memories
              Gm                  C
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
         Gm               C
Hey now, and when I wake up,
            Gm                       C
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
             Gm             C
But there is not enough time,
             Gm               C
There is no, no song I could sing
               Gm                C
and there is no combination of words I could say
              Gm                  C
but I will still tell you one thing
We're better together
F  Am  Dm  C  Bb  Am  Gm  C  x2
