la la la la 
The smell of your skin lingers on me now 
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown 
I need some shelter of my own protection baby 
                                  G/B    C9 
Be with myself in center, clarity, peace, Serenity 

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

(G/B     C9     D         D) 
Don't cry, 
Don't cry, 
Don't cry 

(G/B     C9     D         D) 
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone 
I must take the baby steps til I'm full grown,full grown 
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they 
                                             G/B    C9  
And I forseek the dark ahead if I stay 


C                            G 
I hope you know, I hope you know

It's time to be a big girl now,       And big girls don't cry 

(G        D4/F#      C9) 
Like a little school mate in the school yard 
We'll play jacks and uno cards 
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine 
Valentine 
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to 
'cause I wanna hold yours too 
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds 

(D   D/F#  G    C9    C9) 
But it's time for me to go home 
It's getting late, dark outside 
I need to be with myself in center, 
C9
