Artist:  Jack Johnson
Song:    Better Together
Album:   In Between Dreams

The other tab by K. Diddy is almost perfect but there is one chord missing.
Thanks to K. Diddy though for doing all the hard work.
I didn't know some of the names of the chords so I made them up. 

Standard Tuning. No capo.
Here's the chords required for the song:
 
   F    F-   Dm   C    A#   Gm   C*   Cb

e -8----8----5----3----6----3----8----7-
B -10---10---6----5----6----3----8----7-
G -10---10---7----5----7----3----9----8-
D -10---10---7----5----8----5----10---9-
A -8----7----5----3----8----5----10---9-
E -x----x----x----x----6----3----8----7-

In the chorus there is a part signified as: Cb->A#
The -> signifies a slide. Slide from Cb to A#.

Lyrics & Chords:

F               F-                           Dm                   C
There's no combination of words that I could put on the back of a postcard
A#           F                Gm            C* 
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart 
F   F-                  Dm               C            
Our dreams and they are made out of real things like a
A#         F               Gm          C* 
Shoebox of photographs and sepia-toned lovin'

F           F-                  Dm                       C         
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart like
A#         F                    Gm                  C* 
Why are we here and where do we go and how come its so hard? 
F              F-                 Gm            C
Its not always easy and sometimes life can be decieving
A#                F                 Gm                C*      
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together
 
Cb->A#           C*                        Cb->A#
Mmmmm, its always better when we're together
                       C*                       Cb->A#
Yeah well look at them stars when we're together 
                 C*                        Cb->A#
Well it's always better when we're together
                C*                        
Yeah its always better when we're together


F, F-, Dm, C, A#, F, Gm, C* (CONTINUE LAST CHORD INTO CHORUS)


C* (CONTINUED FROM THE INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE) 
And all of these 
F                  F-                     Dm       C
Moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
      A#                   F             Gm            C*
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings

Or brings
F         F-     Dm                  C
New things for tomorrow night you'll see
     A#              F             Gm               C*
That they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do

                     
But if all of these 
F                       F-          Dm         C
Dreams might find their way into my day to day scene 
       A#          F              Gm            C*
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere inbetween 
          F               F-              Dm               C
With only two just me and you not so many things we got to do
   A#               F              Gm              C*
Or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now


Cb->A#            C*                        Cb->A#
Mmmmm, its always better when we're together
          C*                 Cb->A#
Somewhere in between together 
                 C*                        Cb->A#
Well it's always better when we're together
                C*                        
Yeah its always better when we're together


F, F-, Dm, C, A#, F, Gm, C*
Mmmm mmm mmmm (HUM ALONG)


Gm           C                     Gm                C                 Gm
I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep, hey now and
           C                   Gm                      C              Gm
And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me but there is 
           C                 Gm               C                   Gm
Not enough time, there is no, no song I could sing and there is no 
               C                            Gm                 C
Combination of words I could say but I will still tell you one thing

We're better together
