D#                   G#maj7                     D#        G#maj7
You were riding your bike to the sound of it's No Big Deal
D#                   G#maj7                       D#            G#maj7
And you're trying to lift off the ground on those old two wheels
D#                                     G#maj7                  D#              G#maj7
Nothing 'bout the way you were treated ever seemed especially alarming 'til now
D#                  G#maj7                       D#        G#maj7
So you tie up your hair and you smile like it's No Big Deal

Chorus:
D#
You can let it go
G#maj7                        D#
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
    G#maj7                             D#
And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love
     G#                         Cm                 G#
You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up, mm

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

Chorus:
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' up
You can see the world, following the seasons
Anywhere you go, you don't need a reason
'Cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry for doin' it on your own

G#maj7                                      D#  D#maj7
You're just in time make your tea and your toast
G#maj7                                 D#
A friend all you post is that you're close, oh
          Gm
You don't have to go
          Fm7
You don't have to go home
               D#   Gm    G#
Oh, there's a long way to go
                      D#         Gm        G#
I don't believe that time will change your mind
In other words
   D#        G7        G#              F7      D#      F#7      G#
I know they won't hurt you anymore as long as you can let them go

Chorus:
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
You can start a family who will always show you love
You don't have to be sorry for doin' it on your own
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
You can start a family who will always show you love
You don't have to be sorry, no
