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
