G  Em  C  D  x2
[Strophe]
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 look now, 
    D 
The sky is gold  
G           Em7             C 
 I hug your legs and fall asleep  
   D 
On the way home
[Refrain]
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 
[Strophe]
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 found a town  
     D 
Far enough away  
G                Em7 
 And we talk and window-shop  
      C              D 
'til I’ve forgotten all their names 
[Refrain]
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 
[Pont]
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 age of princesses and pirate ships  
        D 
And the seven dwarves  
G                  Em7                  C 
And Daddy’s smart and you're the prettiest lady 
       D 
In the whole wide world 
[Refrain]
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
