(remember we are in C after the intro)

G/B Am7
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Since u took your love away

G/B Am7
I go out every night and sleep all day
C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Since u took your love away

G/B Am7
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
C/E F G F C/E Dm C
I can see whomever I choose

G/B
eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
Am7
But nothing
Eb F
I said nothing can take away these blues,

[Chorus]
Bb Am7
'Cause nothing compares
Dm7 F G C G
Nothing compares 2 u

[Verse]
C G/B Am7
It's been so lonely without u here
C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Like a bird without a song
G/B
Nothing can stop this lonely rage
Am7 C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

G/B Am7
I could put my arms around every boy I see
C/E F G F C/E Dm C
But they'd only remind me of you

G/B
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
Am7
He said rosie try to have fun
No matter what u do
Eb F
But he's a fool

[Chorus]
Bb Am7
'Cause nothing compares
Dm7 F G C G
Nothing compares 2 u

C
All the flowers that u planted sugar
G/B
In the back yard
Am7 C/E F G F C/E Dm C
All died when u went away
G/B
I know that living with me baby is sometimes hard
Am7 Eb F
But I'm willing to try, said I'm willing to give it another try.

[Chorus]
Bb Am7
'Cause nothing compares
Dm7 F G C G
Nothing compares 2 u

Bb Am7
'Cause nothing compares
Dm7
Nothing compares 2 u
