La da da da
D#m D#m7 C#
[Verse]
D#m D#m7 C#
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
D#m D#m7 C#
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown
F# D#m C# D#m7
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
D#m D#m7 C#
To be with myself and center, clarity
G(let ring)
Peace, serenity
[Chorus]
B D#m7 C#
I hope you know, I hope you know
C#
That this has nothing to do with you
B D#m7 C#
It's personal, Myself and I
G#m
We've got some straightenin' out to do
F# G#m
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
D#m7 B
But I've got to get a move on with my life
F# C# (let it ring)
It's time to be a big girl now
(No chord)
And big girls don't cry
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D#m D#m7 C#
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
D#m D#m7 D#m C#
I must take the baby steps til I'm full grown, full grown
F# D#m C#
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
D#m D#m7 C#
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
[Chorus]
B D#m7 C#
I hope you know, I hope you know
C#

It's personal, Myself and I

F# C#
Like a little schoolmate in the schoolyard
D#m B
We'll play jacks and...uno cards
F# C# D#m B
I'll be you're best friend and you'll be mine, valentine
F# C# B
yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
D#m F#

But its time for me to go home
