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

G#m G#m7 F#
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
G#m G#m7 G#m F#
I must take the baby steps til I'm full grown, full grown
B G#m F#
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?

And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
