NOTHING COMPARES 2 U
This song was originally composed by Prince. This (by Chris Cornell) is one of the best cover versions I’ve
ever heard. If you want to look for this version online, here's a link to the video:
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuUDRU9-HRk)
Apparently Chris Cornell also recorded a version of this song without these solos.
If you don’t want to bother with G/B and Am7, you can play G and Am instead.
Sounds good anyway!
ENJOY!

C G/B
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Am7 C C/F - C G
Since you took your love away
C G/B
I go out all night and sleep all day
Am7 C C/F - C G
Since you took your love away
C G/B
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
Am7 C C/F - C G
I can see whoever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing, nothing can take away these blues

C G/B
It's been so lonely without you here

C G/B
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Am7 F
Tell me, where did I go wrong
C G/B
I could put my arms around any girl I choose
Am7 C C/F - C G
But it just reminds me of you
C G/B
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Am7 E
He said: “Boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do”, but he's a fool
[Chorus]
Bb F
`Cause nothing compares
Am G
Nothing compares to you
