[Intro]
C  Am  F  G  
C  Am  F  G 
 
[Verse 1]
C               Am7
 I’m five years old 
              F
It’s getting cold 
            G
I’ve got my big coat on 
C            Am7
 I hear your laugh 
            F
And look up smiling at you 
  G
I run and run 
C                 Am7
 Past the pumpkin patch 
                F
And the tractor rides look now,
    G
The sky is gold 
C           Am7             F
 I hug your legs and fall asleep 
   G
On the way home
 
[Chorus]
F        G                C     
 I don’t know why all the trees 
        G/B   Am
 change in the fall
F       G                   
 I know you’re not scared of 
 C  G/B     Am
 anything at all 
F              G                 
 Don’t know if Snow White’s house 
    C       G/B  Am
 is near or far away 
                     F       
But I know I had the best day 
     G         C Am7 F G
with you today 
 
[Verse 2]
C             Am7
 I’m thirteen now
               F
And don’t know how my friends 
      G
Could be so mean 
C            Am7
 I come home crying 
        F
And you hold me tight 
    G
And grab the keys 
C                   Am7
 And we drive and drive 
             F
Until we found a town 
     G
Far enough away 
C                Am7
 And we talk and window-shop 
      F              G
'til I’ve forgotten all their names 
 

[Chorus]
F        G                  C   
 I don’t know who I’m gonna talk 
   G/B   Am
to now at school 
F           G               C       
 I know I’m laughing on the car ride 
 G/B      Am
 home with you 
F               G             
 Don’t know how long it’s gonna 
 C       G/B  Am
 take to feel okay 
                     F         
But I know I had the best day 
     G         C
with you today  
 


[Bridge]
F
 I have an excellent father 
Am
 His strength is making me stronger 
F
 God smiles on my little brother 
Am                   G
 Inside and out he’s better than I am
F                      C
 I grew up in a pretty house 
          G/B
And I had space to run 
    F         G
And I had the best days with you 
C           Am7
 There is a video 
  F                    G
I found from back when I was three 
C             Am7               F
 You set up a paint set in the kitchen 
           G
And you’re talking to me 
C                Am7       
 It’s the age of princesses 
     F
 and pirate ships 
        G
And the seven dwarves 
C                  Am7      
And Daddy’s smart and you're 
           F
the prettiest lady
       G
In the whole wide world 
 

[Chorus]
F      G                C     
 Now I know why all the trees 
        G/B   Am
 change in the fall 
F                G          C    
 I know you were on my side even 
      G/B  Am
 when I was wrong 
      F                   G
And I love you for giving me your eyes 
C        G/B     Am
 Staying back and watching me shine 
   F                 G
And I didn’t know if you knew 
       C           G/B      Am
So I’m taking this chance to say 
               F             G        C
That I had the best day with you today
