AD/F#G/AAD/F#G/AAD/F#G/AAD/F#G/A
She'll take the painting in the hallway,
AD/F#G/AAD/F#G/A
The one she did in jr. high
AD/F#G/AAD/F#G/A
And that old lamp up in the attic,
AD/F#G/AAD/F#G/A
She'll need some light to study by.
EmADD/F#G
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
EmADD/F#G
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway
Chorus:
AsusA/C#D
Oh oh letting go
DD/F#E
There's nothing in the way now,
AsusA/C#DD/F#C#mF#7
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
BmBm/AGC9
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
BmE7Em7A7susD
It's never easy letting go.
Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too.
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway.
