The Best Day
By Taylor Swift
Capo 1
[Intro]
C AmF G
x2
[Verse 1]
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, look now
G
The sky is gold
C Am F
I hug your legs and fall asleep
G
On the way home
[Chorus]
F G C G Am
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
F G C G Am
But I, 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
[Verse 2]
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
'Til I’ve forgotten all their names
[Chorus]
F G C G Am
I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school
F G C G Am
But 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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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 age 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
[Chorus]
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
