Verse (remember we are in C after the intro)
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop this lonely rage
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
He said rosie try to have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Sax solo (Just play another verse)
All the flowers that u planted sugar
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with me baby is sometimes hard
But I'm willing to try, said I'm willing to give it another try.
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
