Matilda Chords

[Verse 1]
D                                 A             G
You were riding your bike to the sound of "it’s no big deal"
            D                      A               G
And you’re trying to lift off the ground on those old two wheels
D                                    A                              G
Nothing 'bout the way that you were treated ever seemed especially alarming til' now
        D                         A              G
So you tie up your hair and you smile like it’s no big deal
 
 
[Chorus]
D
You can let it go
A                              G
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
     D               A                  G
And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love
     D                A         G                   A
You don’t have to be sorry for leaving and growing up
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                        A             G
Matilda you talk of the pain like it’s all alright
       D                         A                   G
But I know that you feel like a piece of you's dead inside
D                              A                                 G
You showed me a power that is strong enough to bring sun to the darkest days
      D                       A                    G
It’s none of my business but it’s just been on my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
D
You can let it go
A                              G
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
     D               A                 G
And not invite your family cause they never showed you love
     D                A         G                   A
You don’t have to be sorry for leaving and growing up
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
D
You can see the world
A              G
Following the seasons
D
Anywhere you go
A                 G                 D
You don’t need a reason cause they never showed you love
A                           G                A
Don’t have to be sorry for doing it on your own
 
 
[Bridge]
D                              A            G
You’re just in time make your tea and your toast
D                    A                     G       D
You framed all your posters and dyed your clothes, oh
           A      G
You don’t have to go
D          A          G
You don’t have to go home
G              D    A     G
Oh, there’s a long way to go
G                     D         A           G
I don’t believe that time will change your mind
G                 D         A          G              D
In other words I know they won’t hurt you anymore as long as
D        A       G
you can let them go
 
 
[Chorus]
D
You can let it go
A                              G
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
A                G               D
You can start a family who will always show you love
     D                A         G                   A
You don’t have to be sorry for doing it on your own
 
 
[Outro]
D
You can let it go
A                              G
You can throw a party full of everyone you know
A                G               D
You can start a family who will always show you love
     D                A     G
You don’t have to be sorry, no
