[Intro] C Am F G
        C Am F G

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

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

( C  Am  F  G )

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

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

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

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

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

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