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

A#m A#m7 G#
[Verse]
A#m A#m7 G#
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
A#m A#m7 A#m G#
I must take the baby steps til I'm full grown, full grown
C# A#m G#
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
A#m A#m7 G#
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
[Chorus]
F# A#m7 G#
I hope you know, I hope you know
G#
That this has nothing to do with you
F# A#m7 G#
It's personal, Myself and I
D#m
We've got some straightenin' out to do
C# D#m
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
A#m7 F#
But I've got to get a move on with my life
C# G# (let it ring)
It's time to be a big girl now

[Bridge]
C# G#
Like a little schoolmate in the schoolyard
A#m F#
We'll play jacks and...uno cards
C# G# A#m F#
I'll be you're best friend and you'll be mine, valentine
C# G# F#
yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
A#m C#
cuz I want to hold yours too
G# A#m F# D#m
we'll be playmates, and lovers and share our....secret worlds
C#
But its time for me to go home
A#m F#
it's getting late, and dark outside
A#m A#m7 F#
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
C#
peace, serenity
F# A#m7 G#
I hope you know, I hope you know
G#
That this has nothing to do with you
F# A#m7 G#
It's personal, Myself and I
D#m
We've got some straightenin' out to do
C# D#m
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
A#m7 F#
But I've got to get a move on with my life
C# G# (let it ring)
It's time to be a big girl now
(No chord)
And big girls don't cry
