Verse 1:
C#
  I’m five years old 
Bbm
  It’s getting cold 
F#            G#
  I’ve got my big coat on 
C#
  I hear your laugh 
Bbm            F#
  And look up smiling at you 
  G#
I run and run 
C#
  Past the pumpkin patch 
Bbm               F#
  And the tractor rides up now 
     G#
The sky is gold 
C#           Bbm             F#
  I hug your legs and fall asleep 
   G#
On the way home


Chorus 1:
F#        G#
  I don’t know why all the 
C#           G#/C   Bbm
trees change in the fall
F#       G#
  I know you’re not scared 
   C# G#/C     Bbm
of anything at all 
F#               G#
  Don’t know if Snow White’s 
         C#      G#/C Bbm
house is near or far away 
                     F#
But I know I had the best 
         G#
day with you today 


Interlude: C#--Bbm--F#--G#--


Verse 2:
C#
  I’m thirteen now
Bbm              F#
  And don’t know how my 
              G#
friends Could be so mean 
C#            Bbm
  I come home crying 
        F#
And you hold me tight 
    G#
And grab the keys 
C#
  And we drive and drive 
Bbm           F#
  Until we’ve found a 
          G#
town Far enough away 
C#
  And we talk and
Bbm
window-shop 
      F#
Until I’ve forgotten 
G#
all their names

Bridge:
F#
  I have an excellent father 
Bbm
  His strength is making me stronger 
F#
  God smiles on my little brother 
Bbm                 G#
Inside and out he’s better than I am 
F#                      C#
  I grew up in a pretty house 
           G#/C
And I had space to run 
    F#        G#
And I had the best days with you 


Verse 3:
C#           Bbm
  There is a video 
  F#                   G#
I found from back when I was three 
C#             Bbm              F#
  You set up a paint set in the kitchen 
           G#
And you’re talking to me 
C#                 Bbm
  It’s the edge of princesses 
    F#
and pirate ships 
        G#
And the seven dwarves 
C#                  Bbm
  Daddy’s smart and you're 
              F#
the prettiest lady
       G#
In the whole wide world 


Chorus 3:
F#      G#
  Now I know why all the 
C#           G#/C   Bbm
trees change in the fall 
F#                G#
  I know you were on my 
     C#        G#/C  Bbm
side even when I was wrong 
      F#                  G#
And I love you for giving me your eyes 
C#        G#/C     Bbm
  Staying back and watching me shine 
   F#                G#
And I didn’t know if you knew 
       C#          G#/C      Bbm
So I’m taking this chance to say 
               F#            G#    C#(hold) 
That I had the best day with you today
