[verse 1]
                 G#m
Now that you are out of my life,
            E
I'm so much better,
                        D#
You thought that I'd be weak without ya,
        G#m
But I'm stronger,
                        G#m
You thought that I'd be broke without ya,
        E
But I'm richer,
                        D#
You thought that I'd be sad without ya,
        G#m
I laugh harder,
                       G#m
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,
        E
Now I'm wiser,
                        D#
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,
        G#m
But I'm smarter,
                        G#m
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,
        E
But I'm chillin'
                       D#
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,
          G#m
Sold nine million.
