it pretty close. Enjoy!

[Intro]
G  Em  C  D  x2

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
C        D                G     
 I don’t know why all the trees 
       D/F#   Em
change in the fall
C       D                 
 I know you’re not scared of 
   G  D/F#     Em
anything at all
C              D                 
 Don’t know if Snow White’s house
    G       D/F#  Em
 is near or far away
                     C             
But I know I had the best day with 
D        G Em7 C D
you today

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
C        D                  G   
 I don’t know who I’m gonna talk
    D/F#   Em
 to now at school
C           D               G   
 I know I’m laughing on the car 
     D/F#      Em
ride home with you
C               D               
 Don’t know how long it’s gonna 
G       D/F#  Em
take to feel okay
                     C             
But I know I had the best day with 
D        G
you today

[Bridge]
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           
 You set up a paint set in the 
    C
kitchen
           D
And you’re talking to me
G                Em7            
 It’s the age of princesses and 
C
pirate ships
        D
And the seven dwarves
G                  Em7           
And Daddy’s smart and you're the 
       C
prettiest lady
       D
In the whole wide world

[Chorus]
C      D                G       
 Now I know why all the trees 
     D/F#   Em
change in the fall
C                D          G   
 I know you were on my side even
      D/F#  Em
 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 
That I had the best day with you 
       G
today
