Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

C majorC      G+G        D MajorD
I hope you know, I hope you know
D MajorD
That this has nothing to do with you
C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
It's personal, Myself and I
        E minorEm          C majorC
We've got some straightenin' out to do
       G+G                 D MajorD
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket.
           E minorEm
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
C majorC      G+G       D MajorD (hold)
Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.

G/BG/B  C majorC   D MajorD      G/BG/B  C majorC  D MajorD
        Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry


Verse 2:

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

Chorus:
C majorC      G+G        D MajorD
I hope you know, I hope you know
D MajorD
That this has nothing to do with you
C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
It's personal, Myself and I
        E minorEm          C majorC
We've got some straightenin' out to do
       G+G                 D MajorD
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket.
           E minorEm
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
C majorC      G+G       D MajorD (hold)
Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.


Bridge:

G+G           D/F#D/F#
Like the little schoolmate in the school yard
C majorC
We'll play jacks and uno cards
G+G        D/F#D/F#        C majorC
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine, Valentine

Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
C majorC
'Cause I want to hold yours too
G+G      D/F#D/F#         C majorC
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
D/F#D/F#   G+G         C majorC
But it's time for me to go home
       D/F#D/F#     G+G
It's getting late, dark outside
     C majorC
I need to be with myself and center clarity, peace, serenity


Chorus:

C majorC      G+G        D MajorD
I hope you know, I hope you know

It's personal, Myself and I

We've got some straightenin' out to do
       G+G                 D MajorD
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket.
           E minorEm
But Ive got to get a move on with my life

Its time to be a big girl now and big girls don't cry.
