verse 1: 
G               D 
I can come and go as I want to 
Em               C   
If I'm late, I don't have to call you 
G               D                 Em  C     
It sure feels good to be my own boss 
G             D    
I got back control of the TV 
Em               C 
And my life now I can just be me

Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss 

Chorus: 
G              C                  G 
Last night I sifted through the ashes 
G                                   C 
And when the smoke cleared I was stronger than I thought 
          G            C                   G       
And I'll love another day just slightly damaged

Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss

More hot water runnin' outta my faucet

A lot more room in the closet 
G                         D          Em         C 
It hurt for a while, but I'm better off, oh yeah 
G                      D 
I don't feel trapped, I  don't feel smothered 
Em                              C 
I don't have to deal with your meddlin mother
