[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 up 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 D/F# Em
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
C D G D/F# Em
I know you're not scared of anything at all
C D G D/F# Em
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
C D G Em7 C D
But I know I had the best day with you today
[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've found a town
D
Far enough away
G Em7
And we talk and window-shop
C D
Until I've forgotten all their names
[Chorus]
C D G D/F# Em
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
C D G D/F# Em
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
C D G D/F# 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
[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 C
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
D
And you're talking to me
G Em7 C
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
D
And the seven dwarves
G Em7 C
Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady
D
In the whole wide world
[Chorus]
C D G D/F# Em
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
C D G D/F# Em
I know you were on my side even 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 G
