Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
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
A#/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
A#/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
A#/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
A#/Bb Am Gm C
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together
[Chorus]
A#/Bm C
Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
A#/Bm C
Yeah we'll look at them stars and we're together
A#/Bm C
Well, it's always better when we're together
A#/Bm C
Yeah it's always better when we're together
F, Am, Dm, C, A#/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,
A#/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
A#/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
A#/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
A#/Bb Am
or places we got to be
Gm
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,
[Chorus]
A#/Bb C
Yeah It's always better when we're together
A#/Bb C
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
A#/Bb C
Well, it's always better when we're together
A#/Bb C
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
F, Am, Dm, C, A#/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, A#/Bb, Am, Gm, C x2
