[Intro] D  G7M  A  G7M
        D  G7M  A  G7M

[First Part]

D                       G7M      
  You were riding your bike to 
                 A          G7M
the sound of it’s no big deal
D                        G7M     
  And you’re trying to lift off 
               A
the ground on those old two
      G7M
Wheels
D                                 
Nothing ’bout the way that you 
     G7M
were treated ever seemed especially
 A               G7M
Alarming ’til now
D                      G7M       
  So you tie up your hair and you
                   A          G7M
 smile like it’s no big deal

[Chorus]

D
You can let it go
G7M                         
You can throw a party full of 
  Bm
everyone you know
    G7M                          
And not invite your family ’cause 
      D
they never showed you love
    G7M                       
You don’t have to be sorry for 
 Bm                  G7M
leaving and growing up, mmh

[Interlude] D  G7M  A  G7M

[Second Part]

D                G7M             
  Matilda, you talk of the pain 
           A          G7M
like it’s all alright
Continues after the ad
D                       G7M      
  But I know that you feel like a
                   A          G7M
 piece of you is dead inside
D                               
You showed me a power that is strong
G7M
 enough to bring sun to the
A           G7M
Darkest days
D                  G7M           
  It’s none of my business but 
        A         G7M
it’s just been on my mind

[Chorus]

D
You can let it go
G7M                         
You can throw a party full of 
  Bm
everyone you know
    G7M                          
And not invite your family ’cause 
      D
they never showed you love
    G7M                       
You don’t have to be sorry for 
 Bm                    G7M
leaving and growing up
D
You can see the world
G7M
Following the seasons
A
Anywhere you go
G7M                               
You don’t need a reason ’cause 
  D
they never showed you love
    G7M                        Bm 
You don’t have to be sorry for 
                 G7M
doing it on your own

[Bridge]

G7M                               
   You’re just in time make your 
              D
tea and your toast
G7M                               
You framed all your posters and 
        D
dyed your clothes, oh
          F#m7
You don’t have to go
          Em7
You don’t have to go home
              D    F#m7   G7M
Oh, there’s a long way to go
                     D         
I don’t believe that time will 
F#m7        G7M
change your mind

In other words
  D         F#         G7M       
I know they won’t hurt you 
     E7      D
anymore as long as you
    F#m7     G7M
Can let them go

[Chorus]

G7M
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of 
D
everyone you know
F#m7                            
You can start a family who will 
G7M
always show you love
                               D   
You don’t have to be sorry for 
             F#m7
doing it on your own
G7M
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of 
D
everyone you know
F#m7                            
You can start a family who will 
G7M
always show you love
    F#m7                    Em7
You don’t have to be sorry, no
