[G]Past the pumpkin [Em]patch
And the tractor [C]rides, Look now, the sky [D]is gold

And fall [C]asleep on the way [D]home

I [C]don't [D]know why all the trees [G]change in the fall [Em]
[C]But I know [D]you're not scared of [G]anything at [Em]all

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

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

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

[C]Now I [D]know why the all the trees [G]change in the [Em]fall
I [C]know you [D]were on my side [G]even when I was [Em]wrong
