D               Dmaj7                        Bm                    A 
There's no combination of words that I could put on the back of a postcard 
G           D/F#              Em            A   
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart and 
D    Dmaj7              Bm                 A             
Our dreams and they are made out of real things like 
G            D/F#             Em           A   
a shoebox of photographs and sepia-toned lovin 
D          Dmaj7                 Bm                       A          
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart like 
G              D/F#                Em               A   
why are we here and where do we go and how come its so hard?  
D              Dmaj7              Bm             A 
Its not always easy and sometimes life can be decieving 
G            D/F#                    Em                 A      Ab 
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together  
G                A                          Ab G  
mmmmm its always better when we're together 
                       A                         Ab G  
Yeah well look at them stars when we're together  
                  A                         Ab G  
Well it's always better when we're together 
                 A                          
Yeah its always better when we're together. 
 
: 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 or brings new things  
for tomorrow night you'll 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 inbetween with only 2 just me and you  
now so many things we got to do, or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now 
 
Yeah its always better when we're always together  
mmmm we're somewhere in between together  
well its always better when we're together  
Yeah it's always better when we're together : 
 
mmmm mmm mmmm 
 
G              A                   G                  A  
I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep, hey now and 
G            A                   G                     A  
and when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me but there is  
G            A              G                  A  
not enough time. there is no, no song I could sing and there is no  
G               A                            G                  A  
combination of words I could say but I will still tell you one thing we're better together

intro C#m7 Fm7 B7 E x 4 
 
 
C#m7                                    
I heard this old story before where the  
 
Fm7 
people keep killing for the metaphores 
 
B7                         E 
don't leave much up to the imagination so I 
 
C#m7 
wanna give this imagery back but I  
 
Fm7 
know it just ain't so easy like that so 
 
B7                               E 
I turn the page I read the story again and again and again. 
 
:Bridge: 
 
 
A7 
sure seems the same 
Fm7 
with a different name 
B7 
we're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing always gussing never 
 
:Chorus: 
 
C#m7   Fm7 
Know - ing 
 
      B7                 E    
we're shocking but we're nothing, we're just 
 
C#m7 Fm7 
mo - ments 
 
      B7               E 
we're clever but we're clueless we're just 
 
C#m7 Fm7 
Hu - man 
 
B7          E 
amusing and confusing 
 
C#m7  Fm7 
try - ing 
 
B7                    E 
but where is this all leading, we'll never know 
 
 
:solo: 
 
 
:Verse: 
It all happened so much 
faster than you could say disaster 
wanna take a time lapse and take a look at back. 
We found the last one, maybe thats just the answer that we're after 
but after all 
we're just a bubble in a boiling pot 
just one breath in a chain of thought 
moments just combusting 
feel certain but we'll never never know 
 
:bridge: 
sure seems the same 
give it a different name 
we're begging and we're needing and we're trying and we're breathing never 
 
 
:Chorus: 
Knowing 
we're shocking but we're nothing, we're just 
moments 
we're clever but we're clueless we're just 
human 
amusing and confusing 
helping 
building and we're growing, we'll never know 
 
never know 
never know 
never know 
 
:verse: 
knock knock on the door to door 
tell you that the metaphore is better than yours 
and you can either sink or swim 
things are looking pretty grim 
if you don't belive in they're spoon feeding 
It's got no feeling 
so i read it again and again and again 
 
:Bride: 
sure seems the same 
so many different names 
are hearts are strong our heads are weak we'll always be competing never 
 
Knowing 
we're shocking but we're nothing, we're just 
moments 
we're clever but we're clueless we're just 
human 
amusing and confusing but the  
truth is 
All we got is questions we'll never know 
 
never know 
never know 
never know

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing 
You believed in superstitions 
Then maybe you'd see the signs 
 
The Lord knows that this world is cruel 
I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool 
and in love with somebody don't make them love you 
 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
 
I sang your songs, I danced your dance 
I gave your friends all a chance 
Putting up with them wasn't worth ever having you 
 
Maybe you've been through this before 
But it's my first time so please ignore 
These next few lines because they're directed at you 
 
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool 
 
I keep playing your part 
But it's not my scene 
Want this part to twist 
I've had enough mystery 
Keep building it up 
Then shooting me down 
But I'm already down 
 
Just wait a minute 
Just sitting, waiting 
Just wait a minute 
Just sitting, waiting 
 
Well if I was in your position 
I'd put down all my amuntintion 
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long 
 
But the lord knows that I'm not you 
and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel 
cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do 
 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

9. Crying Shame 
 
Intro: 
 
F#m      G#m 
 
                  F#m 
Its such a tired game 
             G#m 
Will it ever stop 
                  F#m 
How will this all play out 
                  G#m   
Upside out of my mouth 
 
                  G#m 
By now we should know 
                                         G#m 
How to communicate instead of coming to blows 
            C#m   
We're on a roll 
B                              C#m 
And there ain't no stopping us now 
B                       C#m 
We're burning under control 
B                  C#m 
Isn't it strange how 
B                                G#m                                
We're all burning under the same sun 
                                 G#m 
By now we say its a war for peace 
                    G#m 
Its the same old game 
                          C#m 
But do we really want to play? 
     B                           C#m 
We could close our eyes its still there 
     B                      C#m 
We could say its us against them 
     B                 C#m 
We can try but nobody wins 
     B                       F#m 
Gravity has got a hold on us all 
                 G#m 
We try to put it out 
                   F#m 
But its a growing flame 
               G#m 
Using fear as fuel 
                  F#m 
Burning down our name 
                      G#m 
And it wont take too long 
                       F#m 
Cause words are burning same 
                       G#m 
And who we gunna blame now? 
 
                    C#m     B       A    G#m 
And oh, Its such a crying crying crying shame 
            C#m     B      A     G#m 
Its such a crying crying crying shame 
            C#m     B      A      G#m      F#m 
Its such a crying crying crying shame, shame, shame 
 
 
 
 
 
SOLO: 
 
G#m  
 
 
G#m 
By now 
                 G#m 
It's starting to show 
                                                C#m 
A number of people are numbers who aint coming home 
       B                      C#m 
I can close my eyes its still there 
  B                C#m 
Close my mind be alone 
  B                     C#m 
Close my heart and not care 
      B                          G#m 
But gravity has got a hold on us all 
                            G#m                             
It's a terrific price to pay 
                              C#m 
But in the true sense of the word 
        B                    C#m  
Are we using what we've learned? 
        B                 C#m 
In the true sense of the word 
       B                C#m 
Are we losing what we were? 
                  F#m 
Its such a tired game 
              G#m 
Will it ever stop? 
                 F#m 
Is not for me to say 
                  G#m 
And is it in our blood? 
                   F#m  
Or is it just our fate? 
                         G#m 
And how will this all play out 
                F#m 
Upside out of my mouth 
                   G#m 
And who we gonna blame? 
 
On and on 
            C#m     B      A     G#m 
Its such a crying crying crying shame 
             C#m    B      A     G#m 
Its such a crying crying crying shame 
             C#m    B      A     G#m      F#m      G#m 
Its such a crying crying crying shame shame shame

Do you remember when we first met 
I sure do 
It was some time 
In early September 
Though you were lazy about it 
You made me wait around 
I was so crazy about you 
I didn't mind 
So I was late for class 
I looked my bike to yours 
It wasn't hard to find 
Your painted flowers oh 
Guess that I was afraid 
That if you rode away 
You might not roll back 
My direction real soon 
 
Chorus 
 
A 
Well I was crazy about you then 
And now the craziest thing of all 
      Bm               D  
Over 10 years have gone by 
 
              F#Gbm 
And your still mine 
Locked in time 
 
Lets rewind 
A,G,Fm,A  
 
Verse 
 
Do you remember 
When we first moved in together 
The piano took up the living room 
You'd play me boogie woogie 
I played you love songs 
You'd say we're playing house 
Now you still say we are 
We build our get away 
Up in a tree we found 
We felt so far away 
Though we were still in town 
I remember watching 
That old tree burn down 
I took a picture that 
I don't like to look at 
 
Chorus 
 
A 
Well all these times 
They come and go 
Along don't seem so long 
      Bm                D  
Over 10 years have gone by 
        F#Gbm 
We cant rewind 
We're looked in time 
But your still mine 
          A,G,Fm,A  (pick A string on each chord) 
 
(start of the verse tab) 
 
Do you remember

14. Constellations 
 
 
 
Intro: G, C 
 
 
Verse: 
G 
The light was leaving in the west it was blue 
C 
The children's laughter sang 
G 
And skipping just like the stones they threw 
C 
Their voices echoed across the way 
D7 
It's getting late.... 
 
Chorus: 
G          F            C 
And it was just another night 
       D7           G 
With a sunset and a moonrise 
F           C                 D7              G 
Not too far behind to give us just enough light 
            F              C 
To lay down underneath the stars 
               D7                G 
We listened to papa's translations 
       F                  C 
Of the stories across the skies 
            D7               G 
We drew our own constellations
