It's been seven hours and thirteen days

Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
G# minorG#m            BB E MajorE F#F#  BB
I can see whomever I choose
BB               F#F#
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
  G# minorG#m               D#D#
But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues

No, nothing compares to you

Nothing, nothing

It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every girl I see
G# minorG#m               BB E MajorE F#F#  BB
But they'd only remind me of you
BB                   F#F#
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
F#F#
Guess what he told me?

He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do, But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares
  A augmentedA     E MajorE    BB

All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the backyard
G# minorG#m             BB E MajorE F#F# BB
All died when you went away
BB                   F#F#
I know that living with me, baby, was some kind of hard
G# minorG#m                BB E MajorE F#F#

I said nothing compares
A augmentedA     E MajorE      BB
Nothing compares to you
