Capo 1

C  Am  F  G x2


C               Am
 I'm five years old 
               F
 It's getting cold 
             G
 I've got my big coat on 

C            Am
 I hear your laugh 
             F
 And look up smiling at you 
   G
 I run and run 

C                 Am
 Past the pumpkin patch 
                 F
 And the tractor rides up now 
     G
 The sky is gold 
C           Am             F
 I hug your legs and fall asleep 
    G
 On the way home


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

C Am F G


C             Am
 I'm thirteen now
                F
 And don't know how my friends 
       G
 Could be so mean 

C            Am
 I come home crying 
         F
 And you hold me tight 
     G
 And grab the keys 

C                   Am
 And we drive and drive 
              F
 Until we've found a town 
      G
 Far enough away 

C                Am
 And we talk and window-shop 
       F              G
 Until I've forgotten all their names 

F        G                  C       G       Am
 I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school 
F           G               C        G      Am
 I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you 
F               G               C       G     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
 I grew up in a pretty house 
           G
 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               F
 You set up a paint set in the kitchen 
            G
 And you're talking to me 

C                 Am            F
 It's the edge of princesses and pirate ships 
         G
 And the seven dwarves 
C                  Am                  F
 Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady
        G
 In the whole wide world 


F      G                C            G       Am
 Now I know why all the trees change in the fall 
F                G          C         G      Am
 I know you were on my side even when I was wrong 
       F                   G
 And I love you for giving me your eyes 
C        G          Am
 Staying back and watching me shine 
    F                 G
 And I didn't know if you knew 
        C           G          Am
 So I'm taking this chance to say 
                F             G        C
 That I had the best day with you today
