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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jack_johnson/better_together_crd_ver_3.html ]
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
