Big Girls Dont Cry

[Pre-Verse]
G/B Cadd9 D            G/B Cadd9 D
           La, da, da, da 

[Verse 1]
G/B Cadd9         D
         The smell of your skin
   G/B Cadd9     D
Lingers     on me now
G/B Cadd9                D
         You're probably on your
              G/B     Cadd9   D
Flight back to   your hometown
G/B Cadd9      D
         I need some shelter of
      G/B   Cadd9      D
My own   protection, baby
G/B Cadd9  D                      G/B Cadd9
         Be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity

[Chorus]
C
 I hope you know,
G               D
 I hope you know
That this has nothing
To do with you
C              G            D
 It's personal, myself and I
            Em
We got some straightening
         C
Out to do
              G
And I'm gonna miss you
                          D
Like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get
  Em
A move on with my life
C               G              D
 It's time to be a big girl now
                       G/B Cadd9
And big girls don't cry

[Pre-Verse]
D
 Don't cry,
G/B      Cadd9      D
   Don't cry, don't cry

[Verse 2]
G/B Cadd9        D
         The path that I'm walking,
G/B  Cadd9        D
   I must go alone
G/B Cadd9                D
         I must take the baby steps 'til
   G/B        Cadd9 D
I'm   full grown, full grown
G/B Cadd9          D                 G/B
         Fairytales don't always have
  Cadd9    D
A happy ending, do they?
G/B Cadd9     D
         And I foresee
              G/B Cadd9     D
The dark ahead    if   I stay

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

[Bridge]
                      D/F#
Like the little schoolmate
In the school yard
Cadd9
     We'll play jacks and
UNO cards
G                 D/F#
 I'll be your best    friend and
      Cadd9
You'll     be my Valentine
G             D/F#
 Yes, you can hold
                   Cadd9
My hand if you want     to
                             G
'Cause I wanna hold yours too
         D/F#
We'll be playmates and lovers
   Cadd9
And     share our secret worlds
D/F#    G                     Cadd9
    But it's time for me to go     home
                 D/F#
It's getting late    and
      G
Dark outside
          Cadd9
I need to be   with
Myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity, yeah

[Chorus]
C
 I hope you know,
G               D
 I hope you know
That this has nothing
To do with you
C              G            D
 It's personal, myself and I
            Em
We got some straightening
         C
Out to do
              G
And I'm gonna miss you
                          D
Like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get
  Em
A move on with my life
C               G              D
 It's time to be a big girl now
                       G/B Cadd9
And big girls don't cry

[Outro]
D     G/B    Cadd9
 Don't   cry,
          D         G/B Cadd9
Don't cry, don't cry
D
 La, da, da, da, da, da
G/B Cadd9 D G/B Cadd9 D
