I know this isn't 100% correct (strumming parts), but I guess you could say really close. Listen to the song for the timing, plucking and strumming. There are 2 playing in this song but I'm only going to do one (lead guitar). **This goes out to the Besties (Mark Aquino, Ralph Malate, Jeb Aquino), and to the Al'a XYZ.. :) Chords Used: Em7 C9 G D Am e|--3---3---3---2---0--| B|--3---3---3---3---1--| G|--0---0---0---2---2--| D|--2---2---0-------2--| A|--2---3---2----------| E|----------3----------| Tuning: Standard Intro e|-------------------------------------- / \ B|--3T-3T-3T-----3T-3T-3T--------------- / \ G|---A--A--A-----0A--A--A--| \ Repeat- / x2 D|---P--P--P------P--P--P--| ---------- / A|--2--3--0----2----3--0---| ----------- / E|-------------------------|------------ / Da Da Da Da Verse 1: e|-------------------------------------- / \ B|--3T-3T-3T-----3T-3T-3T--------------- / \ G|---A--A--A-----0A--A--A--| \ Repeat- / x8 D|---P--P--P------P--P--P--| ---------- / A|--2--3--0----2----3--0---| ----------- / E|-------------------------|------------ / 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 e|-----| \ B|--3--| \ G|-----| \ Let it ring D|-----| / A|--0--| / E|-----| / Peace, Serenity 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 e|-------------------------------------- / \ B|--3T-3T-3T-----3T-3T-3T--------------- / \ G|---A--A--A-----0A--A--A--| \ Repeat- / x2 D|---P--P--P------P--P--P--| ---------- / A|--2--3--0----2----3--0---| ----------- / E|-------------------------|------------ / Don't cry Don't cry Don't cry Verse 2: e|-------------------------------------- / \ B|--3T-3T-3T-----3T-3T-3T--------------- / \ G|---A--A--A-----0A--A--A--| \ Repeat- / x8 D|---P--P--P------P--P--P--| ---------- / A|--2--3--0----2----3--0---| ----------- / E|-------------------------|------------ / 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) e|-------------------------| B|--3T-3T-3T-----3T-3T-3T--| G|---A--A--A-----0A--A--A--| D|---P--P--P------P--P--P--| A|--2--3--0----2----3--0---| E|-------------------------| La Da Da Da Da Da e|------------| B|--3T-3T-3T--| G|---A--A--A--| D|---P--P--P--| A|--2--3--0---| E|------------| ********* * * * End * * .3. * * * *********
