Standard (EADGBE)

It's been seven hours and fifteen 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 whatever I want

I can see whoever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant-but nothing

 I said nothing can take away these blues,

 'cause nothing compares

nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here

like a bird without a song

nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

tell me baby, oh where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every girl I see

but they'd only remind me of you

So I went to the doctor 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 to you

All the flowers that you planted momma

in the backyard

all died when you went

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

but I'm willing to give it another try

 'cause nothing compares

nothing compares to you
