G   D G C D                  G       C  D      G
The ■ ■ ■ smell of your skin lingers on me now ■
C        D                       D    G       C        D
■ You're probably on your flight back to your hometown ■

        C             
Clarity peace serenity


[Chorus]
           G               D   
I hope you know I hope you know
                                 C  
That this has nothing to do with you
     G               D    
It's personal myself and I
            Em7           Em  C    
We got some straightening out to do
              G                                  D      
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
                      Em              C   
But I've got to get a move on with my life
                G          D  
It's time to be a big girl now
                    G  
And big girls don't cry


[Verse]
D           G               Dsus4 G
■ Don't cry don't cry don't cry   ■
    D    D7               G           D     G
The path that I'm walking ■ I must go alone ■
                D               G              D          G
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown full grown ■
C          D            G      C     D         G    C
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending do they ■
    D                  G     C    G   
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay


[Chorus]
C            G               D   
■ I hope you know I hope you know
                                  C
That this has nothing to with you ■
     G               D    
It's personal myself and I
            Em                   C 
We got some straightening out to do
              G                                  D      
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
                      Em              C   
But I've got to get a move on with my life
             G             D7 
It's time to be a big girl now
                    G  
And big girls don't cry


[Verse]
                       D                  C   
Like the little school mate in the school yard
                         G    
We'll play jacks and UNO cards
             D               C            G        
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my valentine
            D                   C      
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
                            G  
'cause I want to hold yours too
         D                   
We'll be playmates and lovers
C                    D     
And share our secret worlds


[Bridge]
         G              C      
But it's time for me to go home
             D         G      
It's getting late dark outside
          C                        
I need to be with myself and center
C                     
Clarity peace serenity


[Chorus]
           G               D   
I hope you know I hope you know
                                 C  
That this has nothing to do with you
     G               D    
It's personal myself and I
            Em                C    
We got some straightening out to do
              G                                  D      
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
                      Em              C   
But I've got to get a move on with my life
             G             D  
It's time to be a big girl now
