Standard (EADGBE)

  It's been seven hours and thirteen days

  Since you took your love away

  I go out every night and sleep all day

  Since you took your love away

  Since you've been gone I can do what ever I want

  I can see whomever I choose

  I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, But

 nothin', I said nothin' can take away these blues, `Cause

 nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U

  It's been so lonely without you here

  I'm like a bird without a song

  Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling, Tell me

 baby, where did I go wrong?

  I could put my arms around every girl I see

  But they'd only remind me of you

  I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me, He said,

 Boy you better try to have fun no matter what you do, but he's a fool, `Cause

 nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U

  All the flowers that you planted, in the backyard

  All died when you went away

  I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

  But I'm willing to give it another try

 Nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U
