Standard (EADGBE)

It's been seven hours and thirteen days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since you've been gone I can do what ever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, But

nothin', I said nothin' can take away these blues, `Cause

nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U

It's been so lonely without you here

I'm 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 girl 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,

Boy you better try to have fun no matter what you do, but he's a fool, `Cause

nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U

All the flowers that you planted, in the backyard

All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares, nothing compares 2 U
