G Em C D x2


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


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


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


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


Em        C
I have an excellent father
G              D  
His strength is making me stronger 
Em            C
God smiles on my little brother 
G                    D  
Inside and out, he's better than I am...


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


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


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


    C             D                   G           *       Em
And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin this chance to say
          C        D        G 
I had the best day with you today
