Verse (remember we are in C after the intro)

                          G/B         Am7
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
                           C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Since u took your love away

                        G/B           Am7
I go out every night and sleep all day
                           C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Since u took your love away

                            G/B           Am7
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
                           C/E F G F C/E Dm C
I can see whomever I choose

                         G/B       
eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
    Am7
But nothing
                                   Eb    F
I said nothing can take away these blues,

       Bb              Am7
'Cause nothing compares
        Dm7         F G C G
Nothing compares 2 u

C                   G/B           Am7
It's been so lonely without u here
                          C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Like a bird without a song
                             G/B
Nothing can stop this lonely rage
        Am7                  C/E F G F C/E Dm C
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

                                 G/B      Am7
I could put my arms around every boy I see
                                C/E F G F C/E Dm C
But they'd only remind me of you

                                   G/B
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
        Am7
He said rosie try to have fun
No matter what u do
    Eb     F
But he's a fool

       Bb              Am7
'Cause nothing compares
        Dm7         F G C G
Nothing compares 2 u


Sax solo (Just play another verse)


C           
All the flowers that u planted sugar
G/B
In the back yard 
Am7                      C/E F G F C/E Dm C
All died when u went away
                                   G/B
I know that living with me baby is sometimes hard
        Am7                                 Eb              F
But I'm willing to try, said I'm willing to give it another try.

       Bb              Am7
'Cause nothing compares
        Dm7         F G C G
Nothing compares 2 u

       Bb              Am7
'Cause nothing compares
        Dm7         
Nothing compares 2 u
