[Verse]
C G
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Am C G
since you took your love away
C G
I go out every night and sleep all day
Am C G
since you took your love away
C G
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
Am C G
I can see whoever I choose
C G Am
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant-but nothing
E
I said nothing can take away these blues,
[Chorus]
Bb F
'cause nothing compares
Bb F G
nothing compares to you
[Verse]
C G
It's been so lonely without you here
Am C G
like a bird without a song
C G
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Am F
tell me baby, oh where did I go wrong?
C G
I could put my arms around every girl I see
Am C G
but they'd only remind me of you
C G
So I went to the doctor guess what he told me
-guess what he told me
Am
he said boy you better try to have fun
E
no matter what you do,
but he's a fool
[Chorus]
Bb F
'cause nothing compares
Bb F G
nothing compares to you
[Instrumental]
C G Am C G
[Verse]
C G
All the flowers that you planted momma
in the backyard
Am C G
all died when you went away
C G
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
Am E
but I'm willing to give it another try
[Chorus]
Bb F
'cause nothing compares
Bb F G
nothing compares to you
