[Verse 1]
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 that 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
 
[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
 
[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
D                              Gmaj7                            A            Gmaj7
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 just been on my mind
 
[Chorus]
D
You can let it go
Gmaj7                         Asus4
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                  Gmaj7
You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up
D
You can see the world
Gmaj7
Following the seasons
D
Anywhere you go
Gmaj7                                D
You don't need a reason 'cause they never showed you love
    Gmaj7                       Bm               Gmaj7
You don't have to be sorry for doing it on your own
 
 
[Bridge]
Gmaj7                                        D     Dmaj7
You're just in time make your tea and your toast
Gmaj7                                 D
You framed all your posters and dyed your clothes, oh
          F#m
You don't have to go
          Em7
You don't have to go home
 
D             D     F#m  G
Oh, there's a long way to go
G                     D          F#m        G
I don't believe that time will change your mind
G
In other words
    D        F#7        G              E7      D      F#7      G
I know they won't hurt you anymore as long as you can let them go
 
[Chorus]
Gmaj7
You can let it go
Gmaj7                          D
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
 
F#m                             G5
You can start a family who will always show you love
      G5                       D6              F#m
You don't have to be sorry for doing it on your own
Gmaj7
You can let it go
Gmaj7                          D6
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
F#m                               G5
You can start a family who will always show you love
F#                          Em9
You don't have to be sorry, no

Great start! The beginning is actually on 4 and 6 of the D and A strings for the high part. You have to use pinch harmonics for it. Then the actual guitar part playing in there is a slide up form 4 to 5 on the a string and then playing the D string open with 5 on the A. the chords are solid!!!

The F7 at the end is wrong it should be F#
