Intro:  [ C   | G/B   | Am    | C,   G  ] x2

 C                           G/B,                      Am                              C  G

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days,   since you took your love away

I go out all 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

C                                G/B              Am7

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

Am                                                  E

Nothing can take away these blues

       Bb         F                           Bb          F     G

’cause nothing compares,      nothing compares to you

C                         G/B,                                   Am7                         C  G

It’s been so lonely without you here,          like a bird without a song

C                               G/B                                          Am7                    F   Fsus4

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling,   tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

 C                         G/B,                                     Am7                         C  G

I could put my arms around every girl I see,   but they’d only remind me of you

C                                  G/B

Went to the doctor guess what he told me – 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]

[Instrumental]:    C G/B Am C G  |  C G/B Am E   |  Bb F Am G Em G

C                                      G/B,                                          Am7                          C  G

All the flowers that you planted momma in the backyard,  all died when you went away

C                            G/B,                                          Am7                                  E

I know that living with me baby was sometimes hard,  but I’m willing to give it another try

        Bb         F,                         Am           G                    Em       G

’cause nothing compares,   nothing compares to you   [x2]            to you
