Standard Tuning [Capo 1]


Verse 1
C                         G
It's been seven hours and fifteen days,
Am                            C - G
since you took your love away.
C                        G
I go out every night and sleep all day,
Am                            C - G
since you took your love away.
C                               G
Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want,
Am                          C - G 
I can see whomever I choose.
C                              G
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant,
      Am
but nothing,
                        E
I said nothing can take away these blues.

It's been so lonely without you here,

like a bird without a song.
C                             G
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling,
Am                          F
tell me baby where did I go wrong?

I can put my arms round every girl I see,
Am                               C - G
but they'd only remind me of you.
C                                  G
I went to the doctor guess what he told me,
guess what he told me?
        Am
He said son you better try to have fun
          E
no matter what you do. He's a fool.

All the flowers that you planted momma,
G
in the backyard
Am                               C - G
They all died when you went away.
C                                      G
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard,
Am                                 E
but I'm willing to give it another try.

nothing compares to you
