        G  G/B  D

G   G/C  D                                  G   G/C  D
        The smell of your skin lingers on me now
G   G/C  D                                  G   G/C  D
        You're probably on your flight back to your hometown
G   G/C  D                                  G   G/C  D
        I need some shelter of my own protection baby
G   G/C  D                                  G   G/C  D
        Be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity
C          G                D
I hope you know, I hope you know
                                  C
That this has nothing to do with you

          G               D
It's personal, myself and I
            Em                    C
We got some straightening out to do
              G                            D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
              Em
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
C            G              D
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

G   G/C  D
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
G   G/C  D                                G   G/C  D
        The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
G   G/C  D                                G   G/C  D
        I must take the baby steps til I'm full grown
G   G/C  D                                G   G/C  D
        Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they
G   G/C  D                                G   G/C  D
        And I forseek the dark ahead if I stay

C        G                    D
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
C        G                D
It's personal, myself and I
            Em
We got some straightening out to do
C        G                                  D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
                      Em
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
C        G                  D
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

G                    D/F#                 C
Like a little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
G              D/F#
I'll be your best friend
          C
And you'll be my valentine
G              D/F#               C
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
                       G
Cuz I wanna hold yours too
          D/F#                      C
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds

D/F#  G                      C
     But it's time for me to go home
              D/F#      G
It's getting late, dark outside
   C
I need to be with myself in center, clarity, peace,
serenity
C        G
I hope you know, I hope you know
D
That this has nothing to do with you
C        G                 D
It's personal, myself and I
            Em
We got some straightening out to do

C        G                                  D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
                     Em
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
C             G              D
It's time to be a big girl now
D
And big girls don't cry

G   G/C  D
Don't cry, Dont cry, Dont cry
G   G/C  D
Na ra ra ra ra raaaa
