[Verse]
Fm Fm7 D#
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
Fm Fm7 D#
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown

I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
Fm Fm7 D#
To be with myself and center, clarity
G(let ring)
Peace, serenity
[Chorus]
C# Fm7 D#
I hope you know, I hope you know
D#
That this has nothing to do with you
C# Fm7 D#
It's personal, Myself and I
A#m
We've got some straightenin' out to do
G# A#m
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
Fm7 C#
But I've got to get a move on with my life
G# D# (let it ring)
It's time to be a big girl now
(No chord)
And big girls don't cry
