Full Song
Verse 1
F Bb C F
It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Bb C F
Since you took your love away
Bb C F
I go out every night and sleep all day
Bb C F
Since you took your love away
F Bb C F
Since you’ve been gone I can do whatever I want
Bb C F
I can see whoever I choose
Bb C F
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
Bb
But nothing
C F
I said nothing can take away these blues
Chorus
Bb C
’Cause nothing compares
F Bb
Nothing compares to you
Bb C
Nothing compares
F Bb
Nothing compares to you
Verse 2
F Bb C F
It’s been so lonely without you here
Bb C F
Like a bird without a song
Bb C F
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Bb C F
Tell me baby where did I go wrong?
Bb C F
I could put my arms around every boy I see
Bb C
But they’d only remind me of you
Bb C F
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me?
Bb
Guess what he told me?
C
He said, “Girl, you better have fun”
F Bb
No matter what you do
C
But he’s a fool
F
‘Cause nothing compares
Bb C
Nothing compares to you
Chorus
Bb C
Nothing compares
F Bb
Nothing compares to you
Bb C
Nothing compares
F Bb
Nothing compares to you
Bridge
F Bb C F
All the flowers that you planted, mama
Bb C
In the back yard

All died when you went away

Bb C F
But I’m willing to give it another try
Chorus
Bb C
Nothing compares
F Bb
Nothing compares to you
Bb C
Nothing compares
