Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
   G
If that’s what you want
          Em
Then it’s fine by me.
      B                     F       G
No, I ain’t gonna ask for no sympathy.


  G
I don’t need you here
        Em
It’s no good for me.
        B                        F     G
Bet you thought I would fall down to my knees.

Pre-Chorus:
     F
So I guess I failed to mention
       G                   B
It’s a misapprehension that my happiness
   F              G
Is subordinate to yours.


Chorus:
       G
So I’m gonna be fine
              B
Cuz’ I’ve got me, myself, and I
   F                  G       F
No, my mind is finally free tonight.
    G                    B
I’m looking out for number one
          F
You can’t drag me ‘round again, boy,
            G
I ain’t your puppet no more.


Verse 2:
G                           Em
You thought that I, a measly peasant
         B                    F       G
Would bow down to the king, no exceptions
    G
But now here I stand
Em
Standing so tall
B                                  F      G
I’m above it all, gonna watch your kingdom fall.


Chorus:
       G
So I’m gonna be fine
              B
Cuz’ I’ve got me, myself, and I
   F                   G       F
No, my mind is finally free tonight.
    G                     B
I’m looking out for number one
          F
You can’t drag me ‘round again, boy,
            G
I ain’t your puppet no more.


Bridge:
    B                               F
The strings on my back, they’re gone.
   B                       F
My confidence is growing so strong.
    B                                          G
And you thought I’d miss you when you were gone.
    F                                   G
But guess again cuz’ you couldn’t be more wrong
            F        G
I wrote you this song.


Chorus:
       G
Cuz’ I’ve been fine
               B
Cuz’ I’ve had me, myself, and I
   F                   G       F
No, my mind is finally free tonight.
    G                     B
I’m looking out for number one
          F
You can’t drag me ‘round again, boy,
             G
I ain’t your puppet no more.


Outro:
              F
No, you can’t drag me ‘round again, boy,
             G
I ain’t your puppet no more
