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]
             
There's no com

         
bination of wo

rds
            
I could put on

              
 the back of a

        
 postcard
            
No song that I

      
 could sing
            
But I can try 

            
for your heart

,
             
our dreams, an

            
d they are mad

            
e out of real 

     
things
            
like a shoe bo

              
x of photograp

  
hs
            
with sepia-ton

         
ed loving
             
Love is the an

   
swer
              
at least for m

            
ost of the que

             
stions in my h

eart, like
            
Why are we her

              
e? And where d

      
o we go?
            
And how come i

           
t's so hard?
             
It's not alway

        
s easy and
            
sometimes life

             
 can be deceiv

ing
            
I'll tell you 

            
one thing, it'

[Verse 2]
             
And all of the

But I know tha

and brings new

 
 things
            
for tomorrow n

     
ight you see
            
that they’ll b

    
e gone too,

s I have to do
              
But if all of

r way
            
into my day to

he impression

e in between
          
With only two,
          
Just me and yo

u,
             
Not so many th

             
ings we got to


 do

There is no, n
