Intro: G.C.G.C.G

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
     G  D     C                G
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
    G  D    C                  G     
Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss

verse 2:
G                        D
More hot water runnin' outta my faucet
Em               C
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
G  D   C                  G    
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
    G  D    C                  G     
Oh, losin' you ain't a total loss
