Better Together Chords & Tabs

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:

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)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jack_johnson/better_together_tab_ver_6.html ]
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
