[Verse]

G              Em
I'm five years old
             C                 D
It's getting cold outside, I've got my big coat on
G           Em
I hear your laugh
               C                D
And look up at smilin at you, I run and run
G                Em
Past the pumpkin patch
                C                    D
And the tractor rides, Look now, the sky is gold
G          Em
I hug your legs

         C                 D
And fall asleep on the way home


[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

G      Em
I'm 13 now
               C                    D
And don't know how my friends could be so mean
G           Em
I come home crying
                C         D
And you hold me tight and grab the keys
G                Em
And we drive and drive
                 C        D
Until we found a town far enough away
G               Em
And we talk and window shop
          C         D
'til I've forgotten all their names

        C         D

[Chorus]

C       D               G      D    Em
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
C       D                     G    D     Em
But I know I'm laughin on the car ride home with you
C              D            G     D    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

[Bridge]

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

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

G          Em
There is a video
  C                    D
I found from back when I was three
G            Em
You set up a paint set
       C                  D
in the kitchen and you're talkin to me
G               Em
It's the age of princesses
    C                    D
and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
G       Em
Daddy's smart
                         C           D
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world


[Chorus]

C     D                    G        D           Em
Now I know why the all the trees change in the fall
C       D              G          D        Em
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
      C                   D                          G    D         
And I love you for giving me your eyes, staying back and watching me
  Em
 shine


[Outro]

    C             D                   G           D       Em
And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin this chance to say
          C        D        G
I had the best day with you today
