G Em C D x2  

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 nothing   

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
