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
