**This is another one of my favorite songs..actually all I've been submitting here are
favorite. I know this isn't 100% correct (strumming parts), but I guess you could say
really close. Listen to the song for the timing, plucking and strumming. There are 2
playing in this song but I'm only going to do one (lead guitar).

**This goes out to the Besties (Mark Aquino, Ralph Malate, Jeb Aquino), and to the Al'a
XYZ.. :)

We've got some straightenin' out to do

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay


(Repeat Chorus)


Verse 3:
C9       Em7             G
Like the little schoolmate in the school yard
G
We'll play jacks and uno cards
C9      Em7       G
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
G
Valentine
C9      Em7            G
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
G               C9
'Cause I want to hold yours too
     Em7         G
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
Am    Em7      D
But it's time for me to go home
Am         Em7
It's getting late, dark outside
D    Em7            C9
I need to be with myself instead of calamity
D
Peace, Serenity
