GEm7
I’m five years old
C
It’s getting cold
D
I’ve got my big coat on
GEm7
I hear your laugh
C
And look up smiling at you
D
I run and run
GEm7
Past the pumpkin patch
C
And the tractor rides up now
D
The sky is gold
GEm7C
I hug your legs and fall asleep
D
On the way home
CDGD/F#Em
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
CDGD/F#Em
I know you’re not scared of anything at all
CDGD/F#Em
Don’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far away
CDGEm7CD
But I know I had the best day with you today
GEm7
I’m thirteen now
C
And don’t know how my friends
D
Could be so mean
GEm7
I come home crying
C
And you hold me tight
D
And grab the keys
GEm7
And we drive and drive
C
Until we’ve found a town
D
Far enough away
GEm7
And we talk and window-shop
CD
Until I’ve forgotten all their names
CDGD/F#Em
I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school
CDGD/F#Em
I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you
CDGD/F#Em
Don’t know how long it’s gonna take to feel okay
CDG
But I know I had the best day with you today
C
I have an excellent father
Em
His strength is making me stronger
C
God smiles on my little brother
EmD
Inside and out he’s better than I am
CG
I grew up in a pretty house
D/F#
And I had space to run
CD
And I had the best days with you
GEm7
There is a video
CD
I found from back when I was three
GEm7C
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
D
And you’re talking to me
GEm7C
It’s the edge of princesses and pirate ships
D
And the seven dwarves
GEm7C
Daddy’s smart and you're the prettiest lady
D
In the whole wide world
CDGD/F#Em
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
CDGD/F#Em
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
CD
And I love you for giving me your eyes
GD/F#Em
Staying back and watching me shine
CD
And I didn’t know if you knew
GD/F#Em
So I’m taking this chance to say
CDG
That I had the best day with you today
