[Verse 1]

G/B   C      D                    G/B   C D
         The smell of your skin lingers   on me now
G/B   C       D                            G/B     C    D
         Your probably on your flight back to your home town
G/B   C      D                  G/B    C       D
      I need some shelter of my own protection baby
G/B   C      D                            G/B  C (hold)
             To be with myself and center,       clarity, peace, serenity.


[Chorus]

C            G                D
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                   C
We've got some straightenin' out to do
              G                                  D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket.
                     Em
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
C           G             D (hold)
Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.

G/B   C      D            G/B   C    D
               Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry


[Verse 2]

G/B   C         D                      G/B  C       D
             The path that I'm walking I    must go alone
G/B   C      D                        G/B C        D
      I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
G/B   C    D                  G/B    C     D
      Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
G/B   C      D                      G/B  C (hold)
         And I foresee the dark ahead    if I stay


[Chorus]

C            G                D
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                   C
We've got some straightenin' out to do
              G                                  D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket.
                     Em
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
C           G             D (hold)
Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.


[Bridge]

G                     D/F#
Like the little schoolmate in the school yard
C
We'll play jacks and uno cards
G                D/F#               C
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine, Valentine
G            D/F#                C
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
C
'Cause I want to hold yours too
G            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 and center clarity, peace, serenity


[Chorus]

C            G                D
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                   C
We've got some straightenin' out to do
              G                                  D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket.
                     Em
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
C           G             D (hold)
Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.

G/B   C      D          G/B      C     D
                      Don't cry, Don't cry,   Don't cry
G/B   C      D
G/B   C      D
