 G               Em7
I’m five years old
                C
It’s getting cold
              D
I’ve got my big coat on

 G            Em7
I hear your laugh
              C
And look up smiling at you
    D
I run and run

 G                 Em7
Past the pumpkin patch
                  C
And the tractor rides up now
      D
The sky is gold
 G           Em7             C
I hug your legs and fall asleep
     D
On the way home


C        D                G            D/F#   Em
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
C       D                    G  D/F#     Em
I know you’re not scared of anything at all
C              D                     G       D/F#  Em
Don’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far away
                       C             D        G Em7 C D
But I know I had the best day with you today


 G             Em7
I’m thirteen now
                 C
And don’t know how my friends
        D
Could be so mean

 G            Em7
I come home crying
          C
And you hold me tight
      D
And grab the keys

 G                   Em7
And we drive and drive
               C
Until we’ve found a town
       D
Far enough away

 G                Em7
And we talk and window-shop
        C              D
Until I’ve forgotten all their names

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


 C
I have an excellent father
 Em
His strength is making me stronger
 C
God smiles on my little brother
 Em                   D
Inside and out he’s better than I am

 C                      G
I grew up in a pretty house
D/F#
And I had space to run
      C         D
And I had the best days with you


 G           Em7
There is a video
    C                    D
I found from back when I was three
 G             Em7               C
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
             D
And you’re talking to me

 G                 Em7            C
It’s the edge of princesses and pirate ships
          D
And the seven dwarves
 G                  Em7                  C
Daddy’s smart and you're the prettiest lady
         D
In the whole wide world


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