F                          C
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Dm                           F C
since you took your love away
F                          C
I go out every night and sleep all day
Dm                            F C
since you took your love away
F                                 C
Since you been gone I can do what-ever I want
Dm                         F C
I can see whomever I choose
F                               C
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
    Dm                                 A
but nothing, I said nothing can take away these
blues

Chorus:
      D#        A#
'cos nothing compares
D#         A#      C
nothing compares 2 U.

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, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy 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, "Girl, you better try to have
fun no matter what you do,"
but he's a fool

Chorus

F
All the flowers that U planted mama
C
in the back yard
Dm                       F C
all died when U went away
F                                   C
I know that living with U baby was sometimes hard
Dm                                 A
but I'm willing 2 give U another try

 D#         A#
nothing compares
Dm          C
nothing compares 2U.
 D#         A#
nothing compares
Dm          C
nothing compares 2U.
 D#         A#
nothing compares
Dm          C
nothing compares 2U.
