B5 C5 D5                             B5 C5 D5
The smell of your skin lingers on me now 
B5 C5 D5                          B5 C5 D5
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown
B5 C5 D5                      B5 C5 D5
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
B5 C5 D5                      B5 C5 D5
Be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity

C5 G5
I hope you know, I hope you know
D5
That this has nothing to do with you
C5          G5           D5
It's personal, myself and I
            E5
We got some straightening out to do
C5          G5                                    D5
And not gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
E5
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
C5 G5
It's time to be a big girl now
D5
And big girls don't cry

B5   C5   D5
Don't cry, Dont cry, Dont cry

B5  C5   D5                             B5 C5  D5
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone 
B5  C5   D5                             B5   C5  D5
I must take the baby steps til I'm full grown
B5  C5   D5                             B5   C5   D5
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they
B5  C5   D5                            B5  C5  D5
And I forseek the dark ahead if I stay 
C5 G5
I hope you know, I hope you know
D5
That this has nothing to do with you
C5          G5           D5
It's personal, myself and I
            E5

E5
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
C5 G5
It's time to be a big girl now
D5
And big girls don't cry
B5   C5   D5
Don't cry, Dont cry, Dont cry

B5  C5  D5  B5  C5  D5
Like a little school mate in the school yard
B5  C5   D5  B5  C5  D5
We'll play jacks and uno cards
B5  C5   D5  B5  C5  D5
I'll be your best friend
B5  C5   D5  B5  C5  D5
And you'll be my valentine
B5  C5   D5                             B5  C5  D5
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to 
B5  C5   D5  B5  C5  D5
Cuz I wanna hold yours too
B5  C5   D5                             B5   C5   D5
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret
worlds
B5  C5   D5  B5  C5  D5
But it's time for me to go home
B5  C5   D5  B5  C5  D5
It's getting late, dark outside
B5  C5   D5                             B5   C5   D5
I need to be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity
C5 G5
I hope you know, I hope you know
