πΈ Verse :
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
You were riding your bike to the sound of it's no big deal
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
And you're trying to lift off the ground on those old two wheels
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
Nothing 'bout the way you were treated ever seemed especially alarming 'til now
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
So you tie up your hair and you smile like it's no big deal
πΈ Chorus:
D
You can let it go
Gmaj7 D
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
Gmaj7 D
And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love
G Bm G
You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up, mmh
πΈ Verse 2:
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
Matilda, you talk of the pain like it's all alright
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
But I know that you feel like a piece of you is dead inside

You showed me a power that is strong enough to bring sun to the darkest days
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7*
It's none of my business but it's been on my mind

You don't have to be sorry for doing it on your own
