Better Together 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
The[F]re's no combination [Am]of words
I could[Dm] put on the back of a postcar[C]d
No [A#/Bb]song that I could[Am] sing
But[Gm] I can try for your hea[C]rt,
our dreams[F], and the[Am]y are made out [Dm]of real thing[C]s
like a shoe [A#/Bb]box of photographs[Am]
with sepi[Gm]a-toned loving[C]
Lov[F]e is the answe[Am]r
at least for mo[Dm]st of the questions in my [C]heart, like
Why are we [A#/Bb]here? And where do we g[Am]o?
And how c[Gm]ome it's so hard[C]?
It's n[F]ot always easy a[Am]nd
sometimes l[Dm]ife can be decei[C]ving
I[A#/Bb]'ll tell you one thi[Am]ng, it's always bet[Gm]ter when we're tog[C]ether
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jack_johnson/better_together_crd_ver_3.html )
Chorus
[A#/Bm]Mmmm, It's always better when we're tog[C]ether
[A#/Bm]Yeah we'll look at them stars and we're to[C]gether
[A#/Bm]Well, it's always better when we're tog[C]ether
[A#/Bm]Yeah it's always better when we're t[C]ogether

Verse 2
And a[F]ll of these mom[Am]ents
j[Dm]ust might find their way into my dreams t[C]onight,
B[A#/Bb]ut I know that they’ll[Am] be gone
w[Gm]hen the morning lig[C]ht sings
a[F]nd brings new [Am]things
f[Dm]or tomorrow night [C]you see
t[A#/Bb]hat they’ll be go[Am]ne too,
t[Gm]oo many things[C] I have to do
But if all of these[F] dreams might fin[Am]d their way
into [Dm]my day to day sc[C]ene
I'd[A#/Bb] be under the impre[Am]ssion
i was s[Gm]omewhere in bet[C]ween
With only [F]two,
Just me an[Am]d you,
Not so many t[Dm]hings we got to[C] do
or p[A#/Bb]laces we got to be[Am]
We'll sit b[Gm]eneath the mango tree, now,
Chorus
[A#/Bb]Yeah It's always better when we're [C]together
[A#/Bb]Mmmm, we're somewhere in between to[C]gether
[A#/Bb]Well, it's always better when we're t[C]ogether
[A#/Bb]Yeah, it's always better when we'r[C]e together
F, Am, Dm, C, A#/Bb, Am, Gm, C x2
[Gm]I believe in memori[C]es
they look so, [Gm]so pretty when I sle[C]ep
Hey now, [Gm]and when I wake u[C]p,
you look so [Gm]pretty sleeping next to m[C]e
But there is [Gm]not enough time[C],
There is no, [Gm]no song I could s[C]ing
and there is no[Gm] combination of wo[C]rds I could say
but I will sti[Gm]ll tell you one thin[C]g
We're Better together
F, Am, Dm, C, A#/Bb, Am, Gm, C x2
