The smell of your skin lingers on me now
Your probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself instead of calamity

Chorus:
C9 Em7 D
I hope you know, I hope you know
D
That this has nothing to do with you
C9 Em7 D
It's personal, Myself and I
Am
We've got some straightenin' out to do
Em7 G D
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
Em7
But I've got to get a move on with my life
C9 G D (let it ring)
It's time to be a big girl now
(Mute)
And big girls don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay


(Repeat Chorus)


Verse 3:
C9 Em7 G
Like the little schoolmate in the school yard
G
We'll play jacks and uno cards
C9 Em7 G
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
G
Valentine
C9 Em7 G
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
G C9
'Cause I want to hold yours too
Em7 G
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
Am Em7 D
But it's time for me to go home
Am Em7
It's getting late, dark outside
D Em7 C9
I need to be with myself instead of calamity
D
Peace, Serenity


(Repeat Chorus)
