        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                  
And the tractor rides, Look now, 
  G
the sky is gold
C           Am
 I hug your legs
         F      G
And fall asleep on the way home

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

( C  Am  F  G )

C       Am
 I'm 13 now
Continues after the ad
               F                   
And don't know how my friends could
 G
 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   
 I don't know who I'm gonna talk
    C/B    Am
 to now at school
F           G                  C
 But I know I'm laughin on the 
        C/B       Am
car ride home with you
F               G               
 Don't know how long it's gonna 
C       C/B  Am
take to feel okay
                     F             
But I know I had the best day with 
G      C
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         
 I grew up in a pretty house and 
      C/B
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      
And you're the prettiest lady in 
    G
the whole wide world

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

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